- - - - Elimination of suckers (new shoots arising from the trunk) to facilitate the phytosanitary treatments
  - - - Elimination of the shoots apices in order to avoid an excessive vertical growth of the plant
  - - - Positioning of shoots and elimination of secondary shoots. It is done in order to lower canopy density and better air circulation
  - - - Elimination of leaves along the canopy to better air circulation and the exposition of the clusters to the sunlight
  - - - Elimination of some cluster ( normally the smallest) to concentrate the nutrients to fewer clusters and avoid excessive proximity between clusters and possible damage.
- - - - It has to be done during the vegetative development phase, when it is possible to determine which shoots are fertile and which will reduce the quality of the harvest, but not too late, because then there is a risk of damaging the plant.
