Vine pruning course

Další popis

The course will give you the basic skills and practical knowledge of vine pruning. You will gain the confidence and courage to not be afraid to cut into the vines and the knowledge of what will happen in the coming year. The theoretical teaching will be conveniently combined with practical cutting demonstrations right in the vineyard about 500 meters away from the teaching room. Graduates should master the so-called Guyot cut (i.e. the cut on the fertile drag and the stock plug) on the most common guiding system today, i.e. the central Rhine-Hessian guiding system with a horizontally balanced drag. The following topics will be discussed in the theoretical training: Vine pruning - principles of vine pruning. Growing shapes - current styles of vine management. Growing shapes of vines from history to the present. The practical part will take place in the vineyard of ZF Mendel, the Institute of Viticulture and Enology, where a number of varieties are grown (the Czech Republic's vine gene pool is located here) and several vine management styles (Rhine-Hessian, On the Head and Vertiko) can be seen.
