Italian term or phrase: Spollonante
XXX è un diserbante totale ad assorbimento fogliare non selettivo che agisce esclusivamente per contatto distruggendo la cuticola fogliare e la parete cellulare delle piante. Inoltre si impiega come *spollonante* della vite e per i trattamenti disseccanti pre-raccolta della patata.

The only translation I can find is for "spollonare": "to sucker", which makes no sense in this context, or "to pinch out" - but a herbicide isn't going to do anything so genteel as "pinch out"! It doesn't appear in my Viticulture/Oenology dictionary. Given what it does to potatoes, it sounds a rather drastic treatment for vines...

sucker stopper / sprout inhibitor


Explanation:
Once removed, the base of the trunk can be sprayed with a growth inhibitor called “sucker stopper” or “sprout inhibitor”
https://blogs.columbian.com/gardening-with-allen/2011/06/08/...

The source of NAA was Tre-hold Sprout Inhibitor A112 (15.1% NAA) provided
by Amvac Chemical Corporation (also sold by Monterey Chemical Company as Sucker Stopper Concentrate)
http://umassfruitnotes.com/v71n2/a4.pdf

This sprout inhibitor is a plant growth regulator that stops suckers sprouting from roots and pruning cuts of ornamental trees, fruit trees, and other woody plants
https://www.amazon.com/PRODUCTS-276-Suckers-Sprouting-Prunin...

To prevent suckers from growing back so quickly, treat the freshly cut spots with a product such as Monterey Sucker Stopper or Ferti-lome Sprout Inhibitor
https://www.lsuagcenter.com/~/media/system/c/c/a/1/cca18deef...

Sucker-Stopper RTU is used to prevent suckers and water sprouts on apples, pears, olives, non-bearing citrus and woody ornamental plants.
