Lift up of vine branches

Period: summer

A vine can grow upward or to the left or right as the tendrils find things to hold onto. If you don’t do anything with it, then you won’t get even, neat rows running over the horizon but an impenetrable forest will grow.

What should be done? One needs to fix the overgrown shoots and cut off the excess.

To do this, raise the second tier of the double wires and ‘clamp’ the branches between them. Why is this necessary? First, it is necessary because the vertical arrangement of the shoots allows you to use machinery when tending to the bushes and also it increases the leaf surface. The leaf is an important organ of plants that is involved in photosynthesis, that is, the formation of organic substances. Shoot tying with the formation of a larger leaf area improves photosynthesis and promotes the ripening of berries. In addition, the leaves are involved in the evaporation of moisture (the movement of nutrients through the plant) and the respiration of the vine.
