121 Culture of edible figs US11067230 2005-02-25 US07818915B1 2010-10-26 Moshe A. Flaishman
The present invention is in the area of agriculture and more specifically is directed to a method for improving the culture of the edible fig (Ficus carica). As currently grown in California, the fig tends to have a rather short season so that fresh fruit is available only sporadically. The present invention provides a comprehensive method for improved culture of edible figs to provide fresh fruit throughout the year. The method specifies optimum methods for establishing and maintaining orchards. The method includes steps for extending fruit production into the winter. The method includes steps for enhancing fruit quality especially antioxidant compounds which are believed to be beneficial to human health. The method includes steps ensuring that fresh fruit will have an extended storage life. All of these factors contribute to higher yield and higher overall profitability.
122 Method for espalier of olive trees and harvesting apparatus and method for espaliered trees US10704500 2003-11-06 US20040107686A1 2004-06-10 Antonio Isern
Arraying the trees of an olive orchard in an espaliered disposition produces enhanced olive yield with efficient harvest. Olive trees are espaliered with confinement of the structurally supporting and nutrient supplying trunks and branches to a foot wide structural support plane centered on the espalier. Tree center to center spacing along the espalier is in the order of 9 feet with the espaliered rows having a 12 feet center to center spacing. The production planes are arrayed on either side of the espalier support plane for a distance of 2null feet making the entire espalier including the central support plane and the two production planes a six foot wide array. The preferred height of the espaliered array is 12 feet with 12 foot spacing between rows. The two production planes are maintained with first year sprouts, second year fruit bearing branches, third year sprout bearing branches and trimmed clear of the fourth year branches.

The present invention provides methods for pruning the roots of tree seedlings. The methods of the invention include: (a) a first root pruning step wherein the roots of a majority of members of a population of tree seedlings are laterally pruned; (b) a second root pruning step, occurring after the first root pruning step, wherein the roots of the majority of members of the population of tree seedlings are laterally pruned; wherein: (i) the population of tree seedlings is arranged as at least two adjacent pairs of rows of seedlings; and (ii) the roots of the majority of the seedlings are pruned shorter during the first pruning step than during the second pruning step.
124 Mechanical barrier to block the growth of plant and tree roots US10192793 2002-07-11 US20030126792A1 2003-07-10 Richard Auger
A water permeable membrane capable of blocking the growth of plant and tree roots only in a mechanical way. This membrane comprises n layers of a non-woven material having a predetermined thickness and nnull1 layers of an impermeable material perforated with holes to allow drainage of water, where n is an integer equal or greater than 1. The layers of non woven and impermeable material are in alternate position so that two layers of impermeable material form external layers of the water permeable membrane, and each layer of non-woven material is positioned between two layers of the impermeable material.
125 Bud clip US09321691 1999-05-28 US06301828B1 2001-10-16 Ronald D. Vanderpan
A bud clip is provided that ensures that a bud grows straight during the budding process. The bud clip may clip onto the root stock so that the bud clip does not girdle the root stock and does not need to be removed from the root stock. The bud clip may bind the bud to the root stock during the fall bonding process and then ensure the vertical growth of the bud during the spring. The bud clip may be biodegradable and may be impregnated with fertilizers.
126 Fruit tree budding control method and apparatus US150158 1998-09-09 US6148559A 2000-11-21 Monte Dale May
Disclosed herein is a system and method for saving crops by preventing premature bud formation on various agriculturally-valuable flora.

The system and method is especially well suited for unusual warm spells which occur during seasonal changes and for staggering crop portions in order to effectively manage the harvest.
127 Pruning baler US27505 1998-02-21 US6014927A 2000-01-18 Michael H. Hilford
A device for compressing stacks of branches or twigs pruned from trees or shrubs into compact bundles includes a winch having an elongated tubular shaft terminated at one end thereof by a hand crank, and rotatably supported by a pair of longitudinally spaced apart support structures disposed transversely to the winch shaft. Each support structure has a base plate having a lower surface adapted to abut a stack of prunings, and a bearing support structure protruding upwards from the base plate for rotatably supporting the winch shaft. An aperture through the base plate disposed radially rearwards from the winch shaft receives a tensioning rope wound around the winch shaft. The opposite end of each tensioning rope encircles a pruning stack, and is attached at longitudinally spaced apart locations to an anchor rod. The anchor rod is restrained against forward radial movement from the support structure as the ropes are tightened around a pruning stack by laying the anchor rod into the openings of J-hooks which protrude upwards from the front portions of the base plates.
128 Devices for spreading granular and/or powdery material US89755 1979-10-30 US5004163A 1991-04-02 Ary van der Lely; Cornelis J. G. Bom
A device for spreading granular and/or powdery material comprising a hopper for material to be supported and at least two distributing members rotated in opposite directions about vertical rotary axes, material feeding means provided between the hopper and distributing members for feeding material from the hopper to the distributing members so that each of the two distributing members receives the material eccentrically with respect to its rotary axis; the distributing members having such shape and being drivable in a manner, and the feeding means being constructed and disposed whereby in operation material is supplied to the distributing members so that each spreads material across a sector which substantially coincides with the sector across which the other distributing member spreads material. With such a device the material is advantageously spread uniformly and different materials may be spread in the same manner without the need for readjusting various members of the device.
129 Method and apparatus for positioning grapevine shoots US218197 1980-12-19 US4383400A 1983-05-17 Lewis S. Mead; James K. Merritt
A brushing machine for grapevines is disclosed made up of rotating brushes supported on a frame that is supported on a tractor. Each brushing mechanism has several brushes with radially extending bristles rotatably supported on a vertically and horizontally adjustable frame. The brushes are individually driven and pass along both sides of a grape trellis. The frame supporting the axles of the brushes may be swung to adjust the angle of the brushes to the ground for any particular tractor speed, so that as the tractor moves forward and the brushes rotate, the resultant motion relative to the trellis of the tips of the brush straws is in a vertical direction.
