canopy management
Leaf cover control
Canopy management is the practice of controlling the leaf and shoot growth of grapevines or other crops to optimize sun exposure, air circulation, and fruit quality.
Viticulturists employ techniques like pruning, leaf removal, and shoot positioning: Good canopy management reduces disease pressure and improves grape ripeness.
The term appears occasionally in forestry for managing tree cover.
