Impact of shoot trimming height on productive characteristics and fruit composition of Istrian Malvasia vines

The height of shoot trimming has a considerable importance in viticulture production, as longer shoots have higher leaf area, and consequently higher assimilate production. The impact of three different shoot trimming heights on the productive characteristics of Istrian Malvasia vines was evaluated in this study. Measured from the basal wire, shoots were trimmed to the height of 70, 100 or 130 cm. Vines with longer shoots had higher leaf area/yield ratio, produced higher yield and its grapes had higher Brix. Obtained results indicate that the height of shoot trimming can effectively be used in order to manage the productive characteristics and fruit composition of Istrian Malvasia vines.
