Recently, many growers are experimenting with breeding new varieties. Such a representative of the hybrid form was the Zarya Nesvetaya grape.
He was brought out by an amateur gardener E. G. Pavlovsky. The already known varieties “Cardinal” and “Talisman” served as the mother pair. Grapes “Talisman” serves as a donor of excellent yield and stability of the variety “Zarya Nevsetaya”. And “Cardinal” shared its transportability and keeping quality, which is very important for early grape varieties. The grape hybrid “Zarya Nesvetaya” grows well in the southern regions – the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus, the Don region. To grow it in more northern areas, you will have to work hard. But the result does not always satisfy winegrowers, because the hybrid is thermophilic and does not tolerate cool climates. Of course, he will not leave his owner without a crop, but the taste will be completely different than in the description and reviews. However, other important characteristics for gardeners that the variety possesses have made it a favorite of many amateur and professional gardeners. But this does not mean that winegrowers do not ask questions about the agricultural technology of growing a variety, do not need recommendations on protecting bushes from diseases and pests. The article will pay attention to a detailed description of the Zarya Nesvetaya grape variety, photos of the fruits, gardeners’ reviews.
Description of the variety and characteristics
The official description of the variety indicates that the Zarya Nesvetaya grape belongs to early hybrids. 110 days after the awakening of the kidneys, you can enjoy the first harvest. Ripe bunches of the Zarya Nesvetaya grape variety, as in the photo, are ready for picking in early August. In the southern regions – at the end of July. This characteristic of the grape appeals to many growers with the prospect of an early harvest of attractive, nutmeg-flavored berries that can withstand shipping. When the berries of the variety have reached full maturity, they can be left on the vine. And for quite a long time. The consequences of this action will be some softening of the pulp, but the density of the bunch is completely preserved.
Another change with an untimely harvest is a slight change in taste. The sugar content of the berries increases, the acidity decreases, but the degree of transportability remains the same.
Table grape variety, excellent juices, compotes, desserts are obtained from it. Very useful fresh. But winemakers also fell in love with grapes due to their amazing taste and aroma. The berry leaves an unusual pink-strawberry aftertaste.
The yield of the Zarya Nesvetaya grape variety, according to gardeners, is considered high. The average figure is 20-25 kg per bush. But the exact value of the parameter has not yet been established, due to the fact that the grape hybrid is relatively new. Its characteristics are still being investigated in different climatic conditions. We can say for sure that grapes tolerate prolonged rains well, but for the winter period it requires shelter of the vine.
A more detailed description of the Zarya Nesvetaya grape variety contains plant data. Let’s take a closer look at each part.
Bush. Vigorous, with a powerful frame and a massive structure. The vines of the grapes are strong and thick with great vigor.
The shoots of the variety are difficult to break, so the bushes are rarely injured. In addition, the vine is characterized by good fruitfulness (up to 3 brushes on each) and maturity up to 80% of the shoot length. The only quality that scientists are still figuring out is the dependence of the taste of the berry on the overload of the vine.
Greenery. The leaves of the Zarya Nesvetaya grape variety are medium in size, three-lobed, decorated with notches on the sides.
They stay firmly on the stem. The color of the leaf plates is bright green with light yellow veins. Peduncles are bisexual, contain a stamen and pistil. Therefore, the pollination of the variety is stable and the planting of pollinators in the immediate vicinity of the Zarya Nesvetaya grape is not required. The hybrid blooms from the first half of June.
The clusters are beautiful, have the shape of a thickened cone and are very eye-catching.
The variety is popular with farmers due to stable consumer demand. One bunch of grapes weighs up to 650 g with an average quality of agricultural technology. If the grapes receive quality care, they immediately react with an increase in the weight of the brush up to 2 kg. There are no loose clusters on the bush, the berries fit snugly together. Another feature of the variety is that there are no small fruits on the brushes. The hybrid is not characterized by peas – the second bonus for industrialists.
Berries. They are egg-shaped, although there are spherical grapes.
Change their color during the ripening period. At first, the fruits of the grapes are light lilac, almost pink. Then they begin to darken and in the end become dark purple. The average weight is 12 g, but increased care for the bushes allows you to increase the mass of fruits up to 16 g. Juicy and dense pulp crunches when biting. The skin of the grapes is edible, thin, but dense. Due to this quality of the skin, the bunches of the variety tolerate transportation well.
Separately about the problems. Gardeners do not have to worry about mildew, oidium, rot, phylloxera, wasps and spider mites. However, leafworms, weevils, birds are a real disaster for grape plantings of the variety.
The grape hybrid is propagated by seedlings and cuttings.

Advantages and disadvantages
There are many positive qualities in a grape hybrid, and all of them are appreciated by gardeners.
In their reviews of the Zarya Nesvetaya grape variety, they note the following advantages:
- early ripening of the crop;
- high yield;
- large-fruited;
- volume and beauty of brushes;
- transportability at a high level;
- good rooting of planting material;
- frost resistance down to -23°С, ability to winter well in shelter;
- resistance to high humidity and fungal diseases.
Cons of the grape variety:
- fragility of the stalks;
- poor heat resistance;
- susceptibility to attacks by feathered and gnawing pests;
- exactingness of the bush to the fertility of the soil;
- the tendency of the vine to overload.
Below we will consider methods for preventing and combating the shortcomings of the Zarya Nesvetaya grape variety.

Landing
Before planting, growers should pay attention to several issues. All of them are devoted to the selection and competent fulfillment of landing requirements:
- Selection of grape seedlings. The further growth and development of the bush depends on the literacy of the choice of planting material. It is best to purchase seedlings of the variety in nurseries or from reliable gardeners. Seedlings must be healthy, meet all the criteria for planting material of grape varieties. They should not be damaged, broken or damaged by pests.
- Choice of landing site. Grapes “Zarya Nesvetaya” prefers a sunny, windless place. Another requirement of culture is the absence of moisture stagnation. Grape roots do not like excessive moisture, which leads to decay.
- Preparatory measures for the soil. The site selected in advance is dug up and fertilized. For 1 sq. m contribute a bucket of organic matter (compost, humus) and 450 g of superphosphate. For spring planting of grapes, preparation is carried out in the fall, for autumn 3 weeks before the scheduled date.
- Digging planting holes for grapes at least 80 cm in size. For autumn and spring plantings, holes are dug in a week. This is necessary so that the earth has time to subside a little. Then, before lowering the seedling, a drainage layer and some nutrient soil are added to the pit. They put a peg to support the plant, this technique helps to qualitatively cover young grapes for the winter.
A grape seedling is lowered into a hole, the roots are covered with soil, tamped a little, and watered generously.
It is optimal to immediately mulch the near-stem circle with straw or sawdust (darkened). When growing a variety in the Moscow region, seedlings are planted in the summer, but they must be covered for the winter and carefully fulfill all the requirements of agricultural technology.
Care items
The grape variety is unpretentious, so it does not impose special requirements. It takes root after planting well, begins to bear fruit in 2-3 years.
The main activities during the season are:
watering. Spring moisture charging is required. It will help the plant to endure the period of awakening after winter well. Abundant watering is also necessary in the phase of flowering and the formation of ovaries. But 2 weeks before the start of fruit ripening, watering is stopped.
The vine “Dawn Unsvetaya” does not need constant pruning, but it will be necessary to shorten the vine by 6-8 eyes. Also, sanitary pruning is indispensable.
Pest control is a must. The main struggle has to be waged with leaf rollers. In order not to lose plants, insecticides are used – DNOK, Nitrafen, Cidal, Tokution, Tsimbush. The drugs are used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Top dressing for the variety is very useful. In the spring, Zarya Nesvetaya responds well to humus, potassium components are needed at the time of fruit ripening, autumn nutrition is carried out with phosphate fertilizers.
Regulate the fruit load on the vines. This prevents a decrease in yield and shrinkage of berries.
These are the main recommendations for caring for Zarya Nesvetaya grapes, according to the description of the variety, as well as a photo of the plant.
