Through our defoliator for vineyards we remove part or all of the leaves present at the level of the basal area of the shoots which, in short pruning systems, corresponds to the prevailing area of the bunches. It is good that this practice is carried out when the foliage is so high as to almost completely shield the bunches, from fruit set onwards. There are undoubted benefits both for the composition of the grapes and a lower susceptibility to rot, linked to an improvement in the microclimatic context. One of the most evident effects of a defoliation performed on vines with very dense foliage is that of a significant increase in anthocyanins and other flavonoids. The Ori zzonti vineyard leaf remover allows rapid and precise defoliation, and also respects the natural growth of the plant, making this operation less invasive and more effective for the purposes of the future harvest. It is always a priority not to damage the plant or make it suffer in order not to introduce unnecessary stresses to the vegetative system.
