            - Definition: 
 
                A new vine training method and crop
                regulation machine was developed for the purpose
                of crop regulation.

            - Presentation: 
 
                We advise the introduction of the
                branch-cordon training method in vine production 
                 
                Schematic design of branch-cordon stock training. 
                In the new stock-training method the thinning of
                the bulging buds at spring regulates the yield
                and quality. 
                 
                By bud thinning: 
                - unnecessary cluster production is restrained
                (the bulging buds include cluster fundaments)  
                The measure of bud thinning can be adjusted by
                the tractor-driver during the process of
                thinning.

            - Advantages: 
 
                The new vine production method: 
                - offers an opportunity for the full
                mechanization of vine production. 
                - considerably reduces the production cost of
                vine 
                - provides for the mechanized regulation of stem
                condition, yield and quality 
                The branch-cordon stocks require no pruning
