In the last years we decided to use in our vineyards the Simonit & Sirch pruning method, together with the guyot training system.
For us, this is the perfect match in order to respect and take care of our plants and to have the best production result in quality.
What about Simonit & Sirch method
The Simonit & Sirch Pruning is based on 4 simple but important principles: allowing the plant to branch with age, occupy space with the trunk and branches; guarantee the continuity of the lymphatic flow; make small cuts on young wood, not very invasive; use, when necessary, the so-called “respect wood” technique to remove the desiccation from the main sap flow.
Questa reazione si concretizza praticamente con la formazione di un cono di disseccamento che è tanto maggiore quanto maggiore è la dimensione della ferita inflitta alla pianta.
Questa impostazione della vite durante la fase di potatura al bruno facilita e velocizza notevolmente tutte le operazioni di potatura verde successive, compresa l’operazione di scelta e pulizia dei germogli.
This branched pruning method, reduces the devastating impact that incorrect cuts have on the plant’s lymphatic system. This helps to prevent pathogens attacks and so reduce the use of plant protection products.
