Optimizing Grape Pruning Waste for Better Vineyard Operations
Grape prunings are the leftover woody stems and canes from grapevine maintenance. Proper handling and disposal of grape prunings are essential for vineyard health and efficiency. These prunings can be managed through composting, mulching, or removal depending on vineyard practices.
Effective pruning methods help manage grapevine growth and improve fruit quality, resulting in healthier vines and better yields.
Options include composting, chipping for mulch, or removal from the vineyard to prevent disease and pests.
Proper handling reduces disease risk, improves vine vigor, and can contribute to vineyard sustainability.
