A shoot is a key plant organ that ensures not only growth and the growing season, but also the possibility of directional formation of the canopy or bush. For a professional agronomist and an enthusiastic gardener, understanding the morphology, bud types, and physiology of shoot growth is the foundation for managing crop development. Knowledge of the anatomical features of the stem and the patterns of the annual cycle allows for the competent distribution of the harvest load, influencing productivity and effectively carrying out plant regeneration.
This collection brings together practical materials on working with grapevines and fruit trees. Readers will find detailed guides on phytotechnics, rules for pruning and tying, as well as modern methods of vegetative propagation. We cover issues of polarity management, growth regulation through changing the inclination angle of branches, and the formation of an optimal canopy structure. This knowledge will help you master techniques for controlling shoot development to create long-lasting, high-yield plantings and professional work with nursery plants in the garden or greenhouse.

Pruning and training For students
The density of a fruit tree's canopy directly depends on the intensity of bud break and branching. Understanding the biological characteristics of a cultivar allows an agronomist to accurately predict plant development and select an optimal pruning strategy
Pruning and training For agronomists
Cordon canopies are compact flattened structures that allow for efficient use of space in intensive and home orchards. The article describes methods for training horizontal and U-shaped cordons using pruning and trellis tying
Viticulture For agronomists
High-quality nursery plants are obtained from healthy and true-to-type mother plantations that have undergone mandatory certification. The article examines evaluation criteria for vineyards and approaches to mass selection during cutting harvesting.
Planting and propagation For agronomists
The ability of plants to restore organs depends on genetics, the age of the mother plant, and environmental conditions. Understanding these patterns helps agronomists to effectively manage the rooting process and increase the yield of high-quality nursery plants.
