Once again, the agronomy lesson is by Renzo ...

At the same time as the squaring, the specialized technicians have to cut the roots of the cuttings. The cut is necessary for the planting of the seedlings, and is performed by an operator who, with special scissors, shortens the roots until they must be between 3 and 6 cm long.
On the green pegs at the cornerstones of each row, a steel rope is momentarily fixed which, at regular intervals, is blunted with adhesive tape to indicate precisely the points where the cuttings must be buried.
Meanwhile, as the beards are shortened, other technicians must distribute the cuttings "in a sense" or in the direction established by the agronomist with stakes and at least three or four technicians, must manually conclude the burial operation with speed and precision.
the technicians have at their disposal special giant “forks” which, by twisting the cuttings just above the roots, push the stem of the seedling deeply leaving a length of 15 to 20 cm on the surface.
