The accuracy for the viticulture of excellence

The management of theinter-row in the vineyards is crucial to maintaining an optimal balance between the health of the plants and the yield of the soil. The spaces between the rows represent acritical area, because they directly affect the circulation ofair, absorption of nutrients and weed control.

The agricultural machines inter-row of BFM Italy offer tailor-made solutions for the machining of the vineyards. These machines allow operations mechanical means, tillage, and management of the turf with pinpoint accuracy. Lremoval of weeds without lthe use of chemical products not only helps to protect lenvironment, but also improves the quality of the grapes, a key factor for obtaining quality wines.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

What does inter-row management in vineyards mean?

Inter-row management covers all operations carried out in the spaces between rows: mechanical weeding, soil tillage, grass management and weed control. These operations directly affect air circulation, nutrient absorption and grape quality.

Why is mechanical weeding important in vineyards?

Mechanical weeding removes weeds without chemicals, protecting soil health and improving grape quality. It reduces competition for water and nutrients, encourages biodiversity and meets growing market demands for sustainability.

When should soil tillage be carried out in a vineyard?

The main operations are carried out in spring, to aerate the soil after winter, and in summer to control weeds and reduce evaporation. Frequency depends on soil type, climate and the vineyard management system adopted.

How is grass managed in a vineyard?

Grass can be managed with inter-row mowers, shredders or inter-stump grass cutters. Proper management reduces root competition, prevents soil erosion and improves ground stability, especially in sloping vineyards.

How are pruning canes disposed of in a vineyard?

Canes can be shredded directly in the field with an inter-row shredder, which breaks them into fragments and distributes them on the soil as organic matter. This process improves soil structure and reduces disposal costs.

Which BFM machines are recommended for mechanical pruning in vineyards? The PP450 disc pre-pruner is designed for mechanical winter pruning, with a 4-movement pantograph system and stainless steel discs for clean cuts. The CM-SN synchronized topper is ideal for green pruning during the growing season.

Are BFM vineyard machines suitable for hilly terrain?

Yes. All BFM inter-row machines feature heads that tilt up to ±30°, allowing operation on slopes and uneven terrain while maintaining working precision. Some machines, such as the EV-10, include specific systems for stability on steep ground.

How to choose the right inter-row machine for your vineyard?

The choice depends on three main factors: row width, farm size and the type of operation needed (weeding, soil tillage, canopy management). BFM offers a custom design service to adapt each machine to the specific needs of the vineyard.
