Explanations and definition
Shoot-thinning

Worker made shoot-thining in the vineyard of Tour de Pez

Shoot thinning consists in removing non-fruiting shoots (also called “lateral shoots” or “suckers”) from the vine. The aim is to control grape production, retaining the shoots that will give rise to the future bunches, while also ensuring good ventilation of the fruiting zone to minimise the risk of disease.
