High-tech grape cultivation opens new production direction
A high-tech grape cultivation model has initially opened up prospects for expansion in agricultural production in Hai Phong.
The Center for Innovation and Application of Science and Technology under the Hai Phong Department of Science and Technology is implementing the project “Applying technical advances to develop a high-tech cultivation model for Shine Muscat and ha den (black summer) grapes.”
The project is being carried out during the 2024 – 2026 period with a total scale of one hectare at two sites. In An Phu commune, the planted area covers 6,000 m2, including 3,500 m2 of Shine Muscat grapes and 2,500 m2 of ha den ones. In Bac An Phu ward, the planted area is 4,000 m2, of which 3,000 m2 are Shine Muscat grapes and 1,000 m2 are ha den ones.
Thanks to the synchronized application of technical measures, the survival rate of both grape varieties has so far exceeded 97% compared with the initial number of planted vines. The plants are growing evenly, with strong branching, balanced canopies, healthy green foliage, and good adaptability to local ecological conditions.
The 2025 autumn-winter crop marks the first fruiting season of the model. The fruit set rate of the ha den variety ranges from 74.2% to over 75%, while that of the Shine Muscat variety ranges from 72.5% to over 76%.
Despite unfavorable weather impacts, the initial yield of the model reaches 5.66 – 5.81 tons/ hectare for ha den grapes and 1.5 – 1.6 tons/ hectare for Shine Muscat grapes.
These results demonstrate the development potential of the two grape varieties when technical advances are applied and production is organized using high-tech approaches, creating a foundation for further refinement of the process and expansion of the model in the coming period.
