How do I get rid of grape vineyards?

Wild grapevines must be cut with lopping shears 2 to 3 feet from the ground at a 45-degree angle. However, a pruning saw is best if the vine stem is too large in diameter for lopping shears. Glyphosate, a widely used herbicide commonly used to kill weeds, aids in the removal of long, wild grapevines.

The aim is to balance the productivity of the vine and the amount of leaf and shoot growth. Each grape shoot needs 14 to 16 well exposed leaves to properly ripen a grape cluster. If too many shoots are crowded together, the leaves do not get enough light for effective photosynthesis.

Can you burn wild grape vines?
