Stock density
Stock density is a parameter in viticulture and describes the number of vines per hectare . In other plant cultures one speaks of plant density . Vines are cultivated in rows for profitable cultivation, like other crops up to tree nurseries , as far as the topography allows. Stock densities of 5,000 to 10,000 are common. In zones with extreme climatic conditions, sometimes only 3,500 are reached, in central European steep slopes up to 13,000 stocks per hectare are planted.
To give criteria for deciding a vineyard plant a particular vine density, the selected are grape , the rootstock , the Vines , the desired floor load as well as its earnings target. Furthermore, the vigor of the plant and the leaf area required for good assimilation performance must be taken into account.
All of these factors have a direct impact on the quality of the grapes and thus ultimately determine the quality of the wine .
Upbringing up allows higher stock density with the same soil conditions
little moisture and a lot of wind require special plant cultivation measures
