METHOD FOR CUTTING AND FORMATION OF GRAPE BUSHES Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC A01G17/00 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: method includes introduction of one direct bole, arms-cordons from one arm, placed in helical fashion on horizontal wire of single-tier vertical lane. Annual cut of arms is performed on 1-2 eyes. Fully-grown annual gain of arms is placed freely with possibility of arms hanging from both sides of the row. During second vegetation two strong arms are grown up on bushes; they are weaved after lignification into one twisted bole 1.0...1.5 meters high, tied up to temporary bole stake. Cutting of the arms is performed at a bole height. Four top well developed arms are left during third vegetation on every bole. Two twisted shoulders are formed of arms, having been suspended using hooks in horizontal position to a wall board wire on both sides from the bole on length of row so that counter arms gush over each other.

EFFECT: possibility to raise efficiency of grape plantings to provide convenient cutting and replacement of damaged or out-of-date arms without infringement of lane and optimum loading of bushes with eyes and crop.
