Procedure : Removing leaves from the fruiting zone
Phytosanitary interests :
Ventilate the bunches to limit the development of diseases (botrytis, powdery mildew, mildew) and ensure better penetration of the products into the area to be protected
Interests of the technique :
Promote the ripening of bunches more exposed to the sun
Induced effects :
Improve the exposure of grapes
Promote maturity (better sunshine)
Promote the synthesis of polyphenols when leaf stripping is early
Facilitate grapes targeting for protection products: less risk of losses
