abstract = "Modern grapevine production technology involves the implementation of various
technological operations, among which grapevine defoliation has an important place.
Defoliation is an ampelotechnical measure of removing a certain number of leaves from the
cluster zone. Removing the leaves changes the microclimate conditions of the grapevine
(light intensity, temperature, humidity, ventilation), which affects the yield, structure of the
clusters and the quality of the grapes. Leaves removal can be done manually, with chemical
agents (defoliants) and with the use of machines. With development of different technical
solutions and different designs of defoliation machines, the productivity of work today is
significantly increased compared to the manual removal of leaves, which is still dominant in
Serbia region. The technological parameters of grapevine plantations necessary for efficient
and rational application of defoliation machines will be presented in this paper. Modern
technical solutions and basic operating parameters of machines commonly used in practice
will also be presented in this paper.",
