ramas competidoras

Explanation:
I would say "ramas competidoras". These are unnecessary branches, which have to be pruned in order to stop them from getting nutrients for the "good branches", in order to increase fruit production

You can find the term ramas competidoras in many pruning books and websites:

http://www.slideshare.net/gorgonio/selvicultura-de-especies (in page 26 of the presentation, you can see an explained photograph)

As an Agronomist, I'm quite sure that the best translation is "ramas competidoras".
