Articles selection: flowering & leaf removal

Flowering is happening all over the Northern hemisphere! Discover a selection of 4 articles published in IVES Technical Reviews.

🍇 The flowering marks the beginning of the reproductive stage: The fall of the cap corresponds to the moment where the pollen will come into contact with the stigmas. The process of fertilization of the ovum that follows, conditions the formation of the berries and the pips, it thus constitutes a crucial moment in the development cycle.
