Grape cutting method1. Cutting Time
The best time for grape cutting is generally in spring or autumn. Spring cutting can be carried out from March to April, and autumn cutting can be carried out from September to October. During this period, the temperature is suitable, which is conducive to the survival of grape cuttings.

(2) Pre-cutting Treatment: Soak the cut grape branches in a naphthylacetic acid solution of 500 mg/L for 12 hours to increase the survival rate.
(3) Cutting: Insert the treated grape branches into the soil, with a depth of 1/3-1/2 of the length of the cutting, a row spacing of 40-50 centimeters, and a plant spacing of 20-30 centimeters.
