abstract

Not available – first paragraph follows:

Grape growers have long used hedging or mowing to remove part of the wood on vines trained to cordons. This pre-pruning of superfluous one-year-old wood facilitates the work of the pruners, who then remove all but 10 to 20 spurs per vine selected for fruiting.
