Elstar en Gala – 2D Systems

        
		
            
            

                
In 2018, an orchard with Elstar and Gala was planted at FRC Randwijk using various 2D training systems. The goal of this setup is to explore the suitability of such planting methods for robotic harvesting. The planting material consisted of Bibaumen® trees and free-growing trees. The Bibaumen trees were planted either as upright trees with two leaders or in a double Guyot system. The free-growing trees were trained as drapeau with 2, 3, or 4 leaders or in a single Guyot system. The yield of these different systems is monitored annually. Additionally, this orchard serves as a research site for the development of an apple-picking robot.
