Photo by Sarah Anne Risk NVG has created a library of Best Practices resources for growers to utilize in making their management and in-the-field decisions. Suckering, also known as shoot thinning, is the process of removing the excess growth from a grapevine. This is a key step in maintaining vine balance and creating a canopy ideal for grape growing. As the valley is experiencing an explosion of growth, we wanted to remind folks of our best practices videos on suckering, available in both English and Spanish. Curious about our other Best Practices?
We welcome you to check out (and share with your team!) our Best Practices Library, which includes papers and videos available in English and Spanish.
