Shredding between rows in vineyards is the key to speeding upt the decomposition and conversion of organic matter into humus, but also helps controlling the spread of certain parasites, diseases and weeds. Shredding preserves the health of the plantations by increasing the contact area between matter and microorganisms: pests have neither the time nor the space to develop. The resulting humus transformation results in increased nutrients available to feed crops and fertilise soils, improved soil structure and stability, and stimulated biological activity. When shredding is done before seeding, it helps to control the spread of weeds. The mulch used as an alternative to weeding (weed smothering process) then reduces the consumption of plant care products in vineyards and orchards. Shredding is also an effective way to reduce evapotranspiration and protect the soil surface from solar radiation by optimising its cover with the shredded material. Water resources are preserved and remain available for plantations.
