What are complex resistant grape varieties

Complex resistance is the ability of a crop to withstand external factors and growing conditions: diseases, pests, frost and drought, and sudden changes in weather.

This criterion is assessed on a scale using the stability coefficient - the higher it is, the lower the value:

• 1 point - are extremely rarely affected by common cultural diseases (powdery mildew, gray rot, mildew);
• 2 points - highly resistant to diseases and pests;
• 3 points - average susceptibility;
• 4 points - strongly affected by diseases (25–50%);
• 5 points - very strongly affected by diseases.

There is an opinion that complex resistant varieties do not need fertilizing and fertilization, treatment from diseases and pests. This is not true, since any grape bears fruit better and shows higher yields with regular preventive and strengthening measures.
