Description of the measure

Pruning during vine growth for balancing evapotranspiration surface

Comments on sustainability

Pruning in green entails manpower and an additional cost, usually paid off by better quality. Many vine growers consider this work as a key aspect for balancing production with the year meteorological conditions. It entails less hydric consumption, or a better water profit in rainfed vineyards.
