Rusball - quite an attractive grape variety, which is suitable not only for an experienced gardener, but also for a beginner, who practically does not understand the characteristics of grape care.
The main difference from other varieties Rusbola - its resistance to pests, fungi and high genetic potential.
Rusbol blooms well, and most importantly, gives a lot of fruit.
The branches are covered with a large number of even and elastic fruits of the same shape, and there are almost never empty, dead, and stunted ones.
The variety Rusbol refers to the table type of grapes. The Dubovsky pink, Karmakod and Ataman Pavlyuk belong to this species.

Breeding history
Rusbol is a hybrid that was created in the framework of research and work on the breeding of new grape varieties that could be distinguished by a high level of frost resistance.
Among the 300 species of foreign European species were those that served as the basis for the creation of Rusbol. The period, which accounts for the study and selection, starts in 1972. After that, a purposeful selection of Rusbol in Russia began.
Specifications
Among the main characteristics of Rusbol grapes are:
- Frost resistance.
With small periodic frosts grapes continue to ripen. Resistance of the fruit can be maintained at a temperature of -3 degrees. Resistance of grapes in the winter -25 degrees.
The Frost-resistant varieties also include the Beauty of the North, Super Extra and Arched.
- Minimum soil requirements.
Rusbol is growing almost everywhere, there are no requirements for the soil. Not demanding to the soil and Attica, Vityaz and Bazhena.
- Yield is at a high level.
The weight of the bunch is about 500 grams, while the density of the formidable cover is large enough (30-45 eyes per bush).
Rkatsiteli, Isabella and Podarok Magaracha also demonstrate high yields.
IMPORTANT! If you notice that the grapes are overly covered with bunches, this is a reason to think about whether it can grow all the fruits. The main feature of Rusbol is that he is ready to sacrifice himself, giving all his strength to the clusters.
Every year should take care of the grapes, pruning its branches. This is to ensure that it is crepe and gives maximum fruit. Pruning should be in the fall, when the harvest is already gathered. Cutting more than half of the vine is not recommended.
Requires pruning and grapes Crystal, Alexander and the new gift Zaporozhye.
If in the spring you notice that the vine is weak, it is recommended to wait until new arrows begin to sprout (up to 3 cm, but no more, otherwise the juice will go, and this is bad for any grapes). It is already impossible to cut, it is better to break all unnecessary.
Fight against diseases and pests
Rusbol is resistant to pests and major diseases, However, in some cases, problems can not be avoided. Some people who have been growing grapes for decades have never used anti-insect agents, fungi and microorganisms.
If the leaves are covered with uncharacteristic white bloom, and in large quantities, it is recommended to contact the specialized shop selling chemicals for pest control.
There are many types of fungus, as well as preparations for their elimination, so it is better to tear off the sheet, as one of the examples of the problem, and show the specialist.
The fungus can be removed quite quickly, and its presence, eliminated in time, does not affect the quality of the fruits. If the problem is not solved, the fruits can stop growing, and the plant can die at all.
It is very important to take preventive measures in time against mildew and oidium, all sorts of rot. Do not leave aside anthracnose, bacteriosis, chlorosis and rubella. How to deal with these misfortunes and bacterial cancer, including, see the individual materials of our site.
Rusbol is quite stable, but ticks can leave harmful microorganisms on the fruits that cause harm in the human body. Specialized stores sell spray products to prevent the appearance of ticks. Otherwise, insect protection is not required.
Rusbol tastes sweet. As a rule, all branches are covered with fruits, which is especially pleasing to the owners of summer cottages and large plantations. Rusbol is not necessarily processed for the prevention of chemical means, it is strong and tasty.
