OBS

Type of training system used in younger vineyards where six canes are trained to three wires. With this system, growth is spread over a large area. The spreading lessens disease and hastens ripening. Most growers prefer the six-cane Kniffin system because selection of fruiting canes and tying are generally easier.

OBS

Système de taille qui procure un haut tronc sur lequel 6 sarments ou bras sont étagés de chaque côté. Les sarments étagés de chaque côté sont renouvelés annuellement. Il y a donc 2 bras en T sur le premier fil de fer, 2 sur le deuxième, et enfin 2 sur le troisième. Ce système donne plus de rendement, mais aussi plus d'encombrement du feuillage.
