The pruning, he began to say the Chevalier, is to complete the dry, and often to correct defects and errors of this, or trying to put away at a loss of the season. It consists of a series of transactions that are made on shoots that sprout on old wood or on the branches of a year. We see the main
Sule old wood (stump and branches) becomes first husking or spollonatura. This operation how many other never easy, which is to remove the suckers that sprout up on this branch or this strain. These shoots in most cases are unnecessary, and they only steal food to those bonds.
Just in case any of them bear fruit, or it could be used for pruning, you must respect it. Again, spollonatura will be better not to do on those screws that were too vigorous, so that, for plenty of humor too, were able little fruit. But in other cases, husking will be useful, and you will do as soon as practicable, that is, until tender shoots Saran, is that you can easily remove by hand. Of course, to be able to do in these conditions, you will need it several times, checking the shoots in various periods. On his head to good use you can do several things to pruning.
Among the most common there is the Suckering. It is the removal of those shoots which, despite being on his head to good use, do not bring grapes. They too will unnecessary, and in most cases it will be better remove them. Although this operation is to make good time, even when the sprouts are tender you can easily remove it by hand. Sometimes it screws up the weak and in poor soil, a Suckering made time to surprising results, so as to justify the saying that is the Suckering fertilization. But screw up very strong, more willing to make that leaves the fruit, it is better not to do Suckering, because it could do more harm than good. And when in doubt, it is best to wait until the flowering of the vines is over, not to provoke a Suckering inappropriate, the leaking of flowers.
other work that is done on the buds of fruiting is castration. It consists in the nails with the tip of the buds of fruiting. See that I mean to end that sort of small fan with which the shoot ends. Of course, the point taken away, not the sprouting more new internodes and new leaves. With this operation we would like to prevent moods get lost in the leaves of the upper part of seedlings, rather than accumulate in clusters. But we must not exaggerate in this respect. Some truncate the shoot on the second or third leaf above the cluster. And 'This is a very strict castration, which can get dangerous, preventing a good accumulation of sugar in the bunch, so this will eventually get less sweet. So, better castrated on the fifth or sixth leaf. And if it is weak and bolts of poor soils, better not castrate all, because of the vine leaves will not have some too.
Many growers, however, make the topping instead of castration. Apparently, the operation is equivalent to the previous year but in reality it is not. In fact, the flock is in check but the shoots to the fifth or sixth leaf above the last bunch, but this clipping is done much later than with castration, that is, when you already the upper leaves have developed. In a word: s'asporta not the only one very small tip of the spear, but a real piece of shoot. For reasons too obvious, then, that the castration is sometimes dangerous, the topping is definitely harmful. So, apart from exceptional cases, it is better not: It 's better to say instead of waiting for the castration and make the topping.
Unlike the case of so-called ricimatura. It would be the topping of the shoots. Now, this generally can clipping the shoots useful, especially if done early, when these words are still underdeveloped, because it prevents a bundle of excessive vegetation, and allows you to perform better treatments for diseases of the vine.
operation then that is all too common among growers is peeling. Some of you in this regard, it would deserve a slap on the ears. When the grapes begin to ripen, it captures a kind of frenzy will strip the clusters of its bolts. It seems that everyone wants to show the grace of God that was able to achieve with so many months of work and ruining the land without mercy most of the leaves of the vine.
I understand that the right bit of ambition that each of you can try, but it should come to the point of hurting your own interest. And this is why I recommend you be very careful in peeling. Limitatela in those cases where it is present on the ripeness of stunted and lazy, and even in these cases have it sparingly, removing the need pure, and take not all of the branches bearing leaves. Do you think that I am always leaves they feed to the plant, and therefore the clusters, and not without sacrificatele. There is still a task that I want to tell you something, though it now no longer unknown to any of you. But it is precisely because, sorry to tell you quite frankly, I've seen recently applied by the way, I want to talk.
allude annular incision. What is this? And 'the removal of a small ring of bark at the base of the head to fruit, or at the base of each fruiting shoots. This operation is done for the most part just before flowering, using special tenagliette. By doing this, it is to stop the descent of the nutritive materials prepared from the leaves, which, instead of going to end up in the trunk and roots, they stop to feed the best bunches of fruiting. And a highly visible effect of this operation it was in fact in the volume of grapes and berries, which, on the screws that have suffered the incision is much higher. Grows then, and not just the quantity of the product. But .... There are several "buts". First there is a growing quantity but the quality deteriorates. The grape is most abundant, but less sweet and more acidic, so the wines can not so good. Moreover, the screw must necessarily be weakened, because we prevented the nutritive materials to be distributed throughout the body of the plant.
So what? Then the annular incision has to be taken in exceptional cases, namely when the screws, or natural or weakness against the trend of the season (rather rainy spring), threatened to lose the flowers and do not bear fruit. Then you can groped incision with a high probability of success. However, you will not repeat for several consecutive years, so as not to exhaust the screw. It should be possible to abstain if you want to produce fine wines. I could speak to other practices, which can also be said of pruning, as the thinning of the bunches and berries, artificial pollination, and so on. etc.. but are operations that are almost exclusively for table grapes much prized, and little practical interest to the great wine-growing: and so I end up, compensating for the talk the other night too. A good bye, then.
