Techniques for controlling vine leaf and shoot growth.

深入了解

The vine canopy affects fruit quality through sunlight exposure, air circulation, and photosynthesis efficiency. Practices include shoot thinning, leaf pulling (especially on the morning sun side), hedging, and tucking. Proper canopy management reduces disease pressure, improves ripening, and enhances grape quality. Dr. Richard Smart's work revolutionized modern canopy science.
