In the case of abnormal vigorous vines, what is the recommended practice for bearing units?

In the context of managing abnormal vigorous vines, the practice of leaving more bearing units is beneficial for several reasons. Overly vigorous vines may produce excessive vegetative growth, which can lead to issues such as shading of fruit and decreased quality. By increasing the number of bearing units, the vine can redistribute its resources, directing energy towards fruit production rather than excessive leaf or shoot growth.

This approach not only helps in balancing the vine's growth but can also ensure a better crop load, thus improving fruit quality. Additionally, managing the vigor in this way helps to maintain a manageable canopy and enhances air circulation and sunlight penetration, both of which are crucial for optimal grape development.

Leaving more bearing units is a strategic way to harness the vine's natural vigor and channel it effectively toward a productive outcome rather than allowing the overstimulated growth to be counterproductive.
