Breeders have learned to breed different varieties of wine berries suitable for growing in adverse climatic conditions.

But the most striking achievement of the breeders was the breeding of seedless varieties, which include the "Kimshish radiant" grape.
This variety has gained particular popularity due to its unsurpassed characteristics. Himcharacterized by increased yield and early ripening. It is resistant to such dangerous diseases as gray rot and oidium, but it does not resist other diseases well, therefore, as mentioned above, it must be regularly sprayed with fungicides.
During the ripening of the fruits, one should not forget that due to fairly large clusters, reaching a weight of 1 kilogram, the entire crop may be in jeopardy, since the vine simply cannot withstand such an overload, so it is necessary to provide for the bushes reliable support and tie up the vine in time.
