The grafting of the vine.

A year has passed and it is now the winemaker graft the variety you want to grow. For this the first thing to do
is open a crack in the rootstock. This slot will be placed fruitful branch of the vine to be grown. These branches will be
called forks. And therefore, the process of placing the branch will be called the slit grafting.
For good grip slips occur it is necessary that the bark of the fork and the rootstock to stay in touch. Feeling that the
fork was firmly fixed on the horse should still tie into each other, with a string, so that the attachment is final.
Finally, to protect the connection point - that is unprotected, because the inside of rootstock is exposed

the fulcrum of the conduction system. When you reach, will be carefully bent and tied. One hopes with this one
perfect growth of the plant. Then begins the phytosanitary treatments. These treatments prevent the vineyard
