The newspaper finishes the publication of materials about followers of wine-grower Mikhail Vlasov the story about a family Ilyukhinykh Sergey and Natalia, in perfection mastered modern technologies of cultivation of grapes of in a complex steady grades and hybrids and garden wild strawberry.
The person and it put
The person and it put
(Termination. The beginning in No. No. 41-42)
Having told in detail about novelties of the vineyard, Akimovich addressed to me with a request:
- In Roshchino of the Dzhankoysky area my acquaintances seriously were engaged in wine growing. But you know after all as difficult put to adjust if you fight alone, anybody doesn’t know you, so ways to the market are cut off. It would be necessary to help to them to become known.
Sergey and Natalia Ilyukhina
My first trip to Roshchino left indelible impressions. Expected to see a picture habitual for our villages: a spacious yard at the house and an arch for all its length with the lashes of grapevines spread on it. Was here, certainly and an arch, but behind the house, on a personal plot to a look the real innovation of the wine-grower opened.
It was pleasant to hear from Sergey Ilyukhin that the beginning to its vineyard was put by the newspaper. Reading in it about in a complex steady grades of grapes, the former engineer-electronics engineer was lit by idea. Since then its voyages in Zaporozhye also began, in the elite center, from where carried home chubuki on reproduction.
Later he will tell somehow:
- It was necessary to unfasten sometimes one hundred hryvnias for a kidney for an inoculation and only to impart, grow up, and then … to throw out!
Well here you will tell, it after all, Sergey Illyukhin from that breed of people at which hunting is worse than bondage. And it, this hunting, kicked out behind selection novelties: went and in Dnepropetrovk, Lugansk. Collected a collection of Delights, and then the Gift to Zaporozhye, Ecstasy, Golben Nau, Kishmish Zaporozhsky, Elegant superearly, the Ataman, the Tuzlovsky giant, the Miracle of Bulgaria, Ringing of church bells, the Seventeenth – similar to a ladies’ finger, but only pink, the Lowland. Generally novelties so many that it is difficult to list everything.
Running in on its two personal plots passed not only grades and hybrids, but also technologies. Here saw both V-shaped, and G-shaped and T-shaped and according to everyone the created bushes from which rods two-kilogram clusters with krupnyushchy berries freely hanged down.
As that during a time of maturing of grapes noticed that cars rushing on the highway, having come nearer to turn to Roshchino, reduce speed and turn aside this village. As it appeared, Muscovites come back home from the resorts of the Crimea. They blazed for a long time the road to Roshchino. What involved them here? It, grapes. Unless you will resist against temptation to regale large, amber poured, solar suntan on the covered, amazingly sweet berry?!
- Why grapes at you such sweet? – asked once Sergey.
- I process gibberelliny, and this preparation does berry not only is larger, but also slazhe. And still, notice, at me when processings a chemistry minimum, and a maximum gaupsina and other biological products, so grapes my not only sweet, but also non-polluting.
… Three roshchinsky wine-growers – Nikolay Choropita, Sergey Ilyukhin and Yury Kalin from which only the third agriculturist-gardener, and two engineers-electronics engineers, from priusadebny vineyards, having united the ground shares, became torit the road to a field, to a vineyard industrial. The first three hectares of nowadays fructifying vineyard were experimentally put on a V-shaped lane. Experiment as showed time, appeared very successful. Such lane improved access of the sun to clusters and a provetrivayemost of bushes that well affected and on their health, and a crop, especially on its quality.
And soon these three at all passed to a professional path. There is in it a merit and our Crimean state agrarian educational advice center which suggested them to become clients of the international Project of agrarian marketing. Having become them, they united in the collective enterprise "Agro-Yukos" and modern technologies became available to them, the direct way to the market opened.
And as result of it a drop irrigation, cultivation of saplings under the black film, the young vineyard planted recently on new technology.
And in a family at spouses Ilyukhinykh at everyone the specialization. At a Series – grapes, at Natalia – wild strawberry. Too business troublesome, especially if to consider, as it in the searches isn’t necessary on a place, tests the new grades, new technologies. Its collections many can envy. Here both Dzhorney’s Giant, and Big the Fight giving the first berry by May 9, and Likhonosov, Chomoro Kurusi’s Miracle, Brighton, the Selva … And recently, in my next arrival to Roshchino it was much surprised, when the hostess put not a table a bast basket with krupnyushchy rubies the berries which were shone in gloomy autumn day.
- What for a grade – asked – probably new any?
- Queen Elizabeth …
Recently Natalia mastered cultivation of sprouts of wild strawberry in glasses. Very effective technology. Without cutting off moustaches, and without taking away from a parent plant, the socket put in the plastic glass filled with a nutritious mix, pin densely wire bracket, glasses establish in sawdust by which ranks of wild strawberry are poured. At timely and sufficient watering, and it is even better at drop, the sprouts turn out bushy, with powerful root system, at disembarkation in soil start to fructify quicker, and are plentiful.
And here now the autumn approaches a decline, and remontantny grades amuse soul of the hostess of a zemlyanichnik rubies of the berries scattered on bushes.
To middle class a lot of things on a shoulder
We told only about three families which have followed the lead of wine-grower Mikhail Vlasov. And how many still it, has them friends colleagues in Evpatoria, in Sevastopol, in many other cities and the villages of the Crimea.
When Mikhail Akimovich’s eightieth anniversary, his son noted – military pensioner Alexander told:
- I yet the gardener, I only study. But I will become of. After all I have very good teacher – my father!
What unites these people? I will not be mistaken, if I will tell that a tag to the earth, this voluntary penal servitude, forcing Vaysov, for example, to rise in five mornings and all day, and it also except their main work, by fits to graze cattle, to lift on the shoulders a vineyard, to reserve and scatter on a site manure, a word to bend a hump to the seventh sweat. And Alexander Vovka and the Spouse his Lesya it forced not only to raise a garden, to be engaged in nursery, but also to build the house, to bring up, learn and treat son Sergey and daughter Tanusha, and Alexander also to study in absentia at Agrouniversity. It it, this draft, forced in due time three companions from Roshchino, decided to be engaged in wine growing, to sell the cars, something from property and money to start up on implementation of the dream.
And after all he, their work, isn’t always grateful. If a year ago Ilyukhina and their companions received a quite good crop that allowed them to pay off with debts and to allocate funds for production development, this winter a frost voivode so walked on a vineyard that the crop – tears turned out not.
However it didn’t stop them. In the summer with new eagerness undertook a green inoculation quicker to restore the damaged bushes, continued test of new grades and the hybrids, promising to be cold-resistant.
And together all of them – middle class, that on which the economy of all countries of the world keeps. After all this class working, hoping only for the hands, on the innovative thought, it creates. And whoever that spoke, is sure that any businessmen-shopkeepers, any traders, any oligarchs, eloquent deputies never will make that they do.
And to me who has given to agrarian journalism forty years of life, it is joyful to realize that on devastated by a reform storm to the earth, on a tall weeds overgrown heathlands the country middle class again arises, and with it life again is born!
