All pruning professionals are at risk of developing aches and pains through repeating the same motion thousands of times a day during the whole pruning season. Those pains, commonly called Cumulative Trauma Disorders, account for a large part of work related illnesses. The design of the ergonomic secateur results from five years of scientific research and user testing all over the world. The benefit of this new design can be felt in two major advantages : Less fatigue at the end of the day and a less painful, longer and more productive working life.

Different horticultural operations like soil and seed bed preparation digging, fertilization and irrigation, manure spreading, pruning and training, spraying and harvesting, accounts more than half of production cost. In many countries farmers mostly faces these problems which are likely to take more time and also increases the total production cost. So in order to minimize production cost and to saves time we have to take a step towards mechanization. Current mechanized horticulture includes use of trucks, tractors, harvesters. Modern orchards even sometimes use computers in conjuction with satellite imagery and GPS guidelines to increase yield. In fruit cultivation several machinery are available to increase production, mould board plough, disc plough and rotavator are being used in ploughing and seed bed preparation. Operations such as harvesting, spraying, weeding and irrigation use of trunk shaker, air blast sprayer, bush cutter, drip irrigation, respectively can be used to overcome production cost and to saves time compare to conventional method. Need of Mechanization The followings are the points which arises the need of mechanization in fruit culture: . To increase land labour productivity .

  • Edge Trimmer Or Brush Cutter
    Trimmer or brushcutter? Trimmers and brushcutters are in appearance identical products, whether on the look or the usage. Only identical in appearances, though… The trimmer is above all else, intended for finishing jobs. It can be used against walls, around trees or borders, under benches… that is to say everywhere the lawn mower cannot access. The trimmer is therefore an additional tool, used after lawn cutting. It must solely be used to cut off the grass that goes over, as the diameter of the cutting wire is relatively limited. This tool is therefore, aimed at homeowners, which have a medium- sized, well looked after garden. The brushcutter is generally more expensive, as more robust. It can tackle higher grass, brambles, and even small branches. It can be used to maintain larger areas or areas difficult to access with a lawn mower. Its engine is more powerful and the wire cutting is thicker (up to 4 mm in diameter). It is also heavier than a trimmer. The brushcutter presents certain advantages to garden owners or professionals that wish to cut off larger vegetal or look after and maintain larger grounds. Once you have defined which tool answers the best your needs, it is time to think about the accessories and optional specifications that could be useful to you. - Engine power: to define in function of your needs - guard protection : Protect the surrounding plants from the cutting wire when working near by - replacement of the cutting wire : the wire being fragile, it regularly breaks. Some machines allow the replacement of the cutting

  • Invasive Plant Removal
    Invasive Plant Removal Himalayan Blackberry (Rubus aremeniacus) General considerations Himalayan blackberry commonly colonizes roadsides and disturbed areas. When working around blackberry, wear thick pants, long sleeved shirts and leather gloves. Remove blackberry late summer through early spring (August 1 – April 1) after nesting birds have fledged. The thickets provide protection for nesting birds and the flowers are a food resource for pollinators. See the Thurston County Integrated Pest Management Sheet (attached) for more information. Tools and Materials Loppers String Trimmer w/metal blades Machete Pickaxe-Mattock (See Figure 1) Digging Fork Shovel Tarps Rope if working on steep slopes Removal Method Figure 1: Pickaxe-Mattock Use loppers, machete or a string trimmer to cut canes a few inches above the ground. Place canes onto a tarp to contain the plants and make them easier to move. Canes can be rolled into bundles and placed on the tarp. Alternately, use loppers to chop them into shorter lengths and rake them onto the tarp. Use a digging fork, pickaxe-mattock or shovel to remove roots. Special Considerations for Slopes Work from the top of the slope to the bottom. Work carefully to reduce soil disturbance as much as possible. If necessary, use ropes to haul tarped bundles of canes to the top of the slope. Photo: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/ User: Stemonitis Appendix 1 Invasive Plant Removal—Himalayan Blackberry Disposal Blackberry must be disposed of in the landfill if taken off-site. Small amounts can be placed in the garbage. To compost on site, pile on tarps to keep them from rooting into the ground.
