Abstract

This study explores the critical role of canopy management in optimizing grape yield and quality, emphasizing the principles and practices of enhancing grapevine canopy microclimate to improve production efficiency. Canopy management techniques, including shoot thinning, leaf removal, and pruning systems, contribute to improving light conditions and air circulation within the canopy, thereby optimizing photosynthesis and reducing disease risk. Additionally, the study analyzes the long-term effects of these techniques, such as enhanced sugar accumulation and increased antioxidant content, and examines the potential of automation and precision viticulture technologies to improve management efficiency. Innovative canopy management strategies are particularly essential for achieving sustainable grape cultivation in the face of climate change challenges.
