METHOD FOR PRODUCING A PREFORMED SAPLING, FOR APPLES AND PEARS, A METHOD FOR PRODUCING FRUIT PLANTATIONS COMPRISING SUCH A SAPLING WITH IMPROVED FEATURES FOR AUTOMATED MECHANICAL HARVESTING

摘要

The method relates to the following steps: a1) planting a preformed apple or pear tree (1), ora2) grafting / furing up a preformed apple or pear tree (1) on a base, b) mechanical and / or hormone treatment of the guide branch (2), so that branches (3) only grow on part of the circumference in a first growth period, this part of the circumference of the guide branch (2) making an angle alfa (α) of less than 100 °, c1) transplanting the preformed apple or pear tree with the leading branch (2) of the apple or pear tree, (1) and the subsurface enclosing an angle a of 20 ° to 80 °, or c2) furing / grafting of the preformed apple or pear tree (1) on a base, the base with guide branch (2) of the apple or pear tree and the base at an angle a of 20 ° to 80 °, d) binding the Leitastes to a first wire (101), wherein the first part of the Leitastes (2) and the second part of the Leitastes (2) enclose an angle b of more than 100 ° and less than 170 °.
