Russmol — a medium or medium-late ripening grape variety, characterized by high resistance to diseases such as mildew and powdery mildew, as well as tolerance to phylloxera. Bushes are vigorous, with good rooting of cuttings and high frost resistance up to -23...-24°C. The period from budburst to full berry ripening is 130-150 days, which allows the variety to be used in various climatic conditions.
Clusters of Russmol are large, conical in shape, weighing from 500 to 750 grams, moderately dense or dense. Berries are oval, white, large and very large — 32x24 mm in size and 7-10 grams in weight. The taste is pleasant and harmonious, sometimes with a slight muscat note. Sugar content of the berries is 16-18%, acidity — 7-9 g/l, which makes the grape suitable for fresh consumption and processing.
The variety is distinguished by good yield and a high percentage of fruiting shoots (65-85%), with a fruitfulness coefficient of 1.3-1.7. Recommended load per bush is 30-40 buds, with pruning of vines to 6-8 buds or short pruning to 2-4 buds. Russmol responds positively to a high level of agrotechnology. Under conditions of wet weather during ripening, berry cracking is possible, which can be partially prevented by thinning young berries after flowering, which also contributes to increasing their size. The variety is compatible with most rootstocks and is widely used in agriculture.
