The system is based on both the hypothesis and observations that grapevines do not grow if the temperature is below 50 °F (10 °C). [2] Each day during the growing season are assigned growing degree-days according to the amount that the day's average temperature exceeds this threshold. This is assumed under the system to be April 1 through ...
Vines are trained into a variety of styles that aid the growers in managing the canopy and controlling yields. The use of vine training systems in viticulture is aimed primarily to assist in canopy management with finding the balance in enough foliage to facilitate photosynthesis without excessive shading that could impede grape ripening or promote grape diseases.
