Vineyard Leaf Canopy Management: Timing of the First Hedge-Trimming: Sourced from the research article: “Gestion de la haie foliaire en viticulture: positionner le premier cisaillage” (Recherche Agronomique Suisse, 2024). This is a translation of an article originally written in French

Delaying the date of the first hedge-trimming (or ‘tip-pruning’) is of limited technical value in vineyard canopy management. The impact of the delay on lateral shoot growth and must composition remains marginal within the context of the La Côte vineyard in Switzerland.
