Mechanical weed control in organic orchards: Gyroscopic crumblers

In organic orchards, weed control is very important, as herbicides are not allowed. Additionally, purely superficial mowing of the undergrowth is not sufficient, especially in spring with young & low-stem trees. Solution The gyroscopic crumbler regulates the weeds mechanically by means of two horizontally rotating tools, one of which also swings out into the inter-trunk area by means of probe technology. Benefits Tillage of the entire tree strip. Plant parts, mulch and leaf residues are dug into the soil, promoting humus build-up and reducing the ascospores potential from scab fungus in the spring.
