The increase of Olea pollen was due to the expansion of the tree and its management using pruning and mechanical cleaning.
Newly planted vineyards could be even more efficient by using a higher density of vines trained to grow over trellises designed to help with mechanical severing and harvesting.Even pruning can be mechanised.
By the mid-1980s the need to increase yields and lower costs led to professor of horticulture Robert Pool's research on minimal pruning and mechanical hedging to promote large crop size.
As vine size and productivity improved, research activities changed to focus on reducing production costs through pruning strategies, mechanized production systems, and mechanical crop estimation and adjustment.
This stem disease is closely associated with fungal invasion of wounds caused by pruning or through mechanical injury.
The effect of the filler content and the different type of wood flour on the mechanical properties of polyethylene composites filled with an agricultural pruning residue, date palm wood flour (DPWF) was studied.
Bob Pool continued the work with his studies on "minimal pruning". Over the last 15 years, the techniques for mechanical crop estimation and thinning were honed by horticulture department senior research associate Terry Bates and a team of CCE specialists.
In this project, we are focusing only in the side pruning technique; this is due to the mechanical characteristics of the multirotor and the grasping technique used to fix its body to the the target branch.
Fibers from orange tree pruning were obtained and subject to different treatments in order to obtain mechanical, thermomechanical and chemi-thermomechanical pulps.
