sustainable vineyard production. Canopy management, whether applied by conventional or mechanical methods, may include the following practices: 1) dormant pruning, 2) shoot thinning, 3) shoot positioning, 4) cluster thinning, 5) leaf removal, and 6) hedging

An increased frequency of extreme and variable weather events poses a threat to winegrape production, where winter survival depends upon the ability of dormant tissue to withstand low temperature exposure and dynamically acclimate to winter
