The first rail (12A) and the second rail (12B) are oriented longitudinally and spaced transversely from each other to define a track (12). The system comprises a trolley (13), movable along the track (12) and including a movement actuator (131), configured to move the trolley (13) on the track (12).

A defoliating device (3) has at least two defoliating units (100, 200) which are located on the rear side of a common panel (7) of the device (3), the frontside surface of which panel faces a plant to be defoliated, , The panel (7) is provided with working openings (8, 9) or cut-outs, through which the defoliating units (100, 200), which are located on the rear side, act on the plants.The defoliating device (3) can be moved past the plants in a working direction, and where in each case two defoliating units (100, 200) having different ways of operating are arranged one behind the other in the working direction such that the units act sequentially on the plant region to be defoliated.

An agricultural leaf stripper which can adopt numerous configurations allowing leaf stripping of bushes and trees of varying shapes and sizes consists of a structure capable of being transported along a horizontal axis parallel to the ground and consisting of a structure formed of two parts one of which is fixed to the transporter vehicle and the other of which can slide vertically on the fixed part and supports a rectilinear rail generally parallel to the structure and able to be moved horizontally towards and away from the structure and tilted with respect thereto, the rail carrying at least two pneumatic leaf stripping heads, each stripping head being able to be set to a desired position on the rail independently of the other leaf stripping heads, and each being able to be set to a desired orientation about its working axis on the rail.

A method for harvesting hemp, including first identifying a hemp stripper machine including a frame having a front side, an oppositely disposed ejection side, and an access side extending therebetween; a roller drum assembly rotatably mounted within the frame and further comprising a weighted cylindrical drum; and a plurality of elongated brush heads operationally connected to the weighted cylindrical drum; wherein the brush heads are staggered about the drum; a pivotable cradle table extending from the front side; an access opening on the front side for feeding hemp through to the roller drum assembly; a motor operationally connected to the roller drum assembly; and an ejection port on the ejection side, positioned to receive harvested hemp from the roller drum assembly, then energizing the motor, guiding a hemp plant portion through the access opening and into the roller drum assembly, removing seeds and leaves from the hemp plant portion, expelling hemp seeds and leaves through the ejection port, and collecting hemp seeds and leaves as expelled through the ejection port;

A system and a method for growing trellised plants are disclosed. The method may include growing the trellised plants downwards on rotatable tubes, letting gravity replace trellising and leaning and lowering of the plants may be replaced by wrapping their stems on the rotatable tubes, by rotating the tubes. The system may include: one or more cultivation systems; a plurality of angularly driving belts, for supporting and driving the one or more cultivation systems; and a rotatable shaft configured to rotate and carry the one or more cultivation systems hanging from the rotatable shaft by the driving belts. Each cultivation system may include a cultivation tube having a plurality of holes for planting the trellised plants; and an irrigation system for providing irrigation to the trellised plants.

An air leaf stripping system and an agricultural machine equipped with such system. The system is used in viticulture for stripping leaves from vinestocks. The system can be mounted on a tractor and includes adjustment mechanism consisting of a rotary joint and coupling for rotating a housing and includes an arm that has a main longitudinal axis and includes the supply line and an attachment part intended to be mounted on the agricultural machine directly or via a frame. The supply line-is guided along the attachment part and connected to the leaf stripping members through a junction in the housing via the rotary joint. The rotating member being arranged so that the housing can be rotated about a first axis passing through the junction and substantially perpendicular to the main longitudinal axis of the arm, between at least two separate angular positions relative to the first axis.

The present disclosure is directed to a rotary drum trimming apparatus for trimming plants, in particular, buds and flowers, to remove unwanted plant material. More specifically, the present disclosure is directed to a rotary drum trimming apparatus that incorporates a separator for efficiently separating severed plant material from an airstream that carried the severed plant materials away from a rotary trimming drum

The present invention is relative to the agricultural sector and more specifically in the field of fruit growing.

In recent years, the agricultural sector has undergone significant developments, often due to the need to meet the demands of the production of products that can meet certain standards, including, for example, in fruit production, the size of the fruit produced, which is often recognized as a quality parameter, as well as the quantity and availability of the fruit itself, which should remain as constant as possible over the years.

In particular in the sector it is known that it is important in this sense the thinning out of flowers and/or small fruits that is carried out. One purpose of this invention is to describe an innovative device suitable for the purpose.
