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.
