Mechanical Thinning 2024

        
		
            
            

                
In 2024, five demonstration trials with mechanical thinning were conducted at FRC Randwijk. The Tree Darwin blossom thinning machine was used on Natyra and Bloss, while the Rinieri Florix Compact blossom thinning machine was applied to Elrosa. For Elrosa , a trial was conducted using the new fruit thinning machine from the Italian brand BMV. For Alnova, a demonstration included both the Rinieri Florix Compact blossom thinning machine and the BMV fruit thinning machine. While mechanical blossom thinning is particularly relevant for organic growers, it may also provide added value for conventional growers dealing with difficult-to-thin varieties.
