1 Advanced Technologies for Thinning of Tree Fruit -- Engineering Solutions Workshop, CMU Paul Heinemann, Penn State Dept. of Ag & Biol. Engineering Tara Baugher, Penn State Extension
2 Multi-State Project WA IL PA CA MD WV SC
3 Partners involved: Penn State WSU UC-Davis Clemson U Maryland U Illinois USDA Extension Grower partners Other industry partners CMU (selective thinning)
4 Problem Statement Fruit thinning is a labor-intensive and expensive task; time and crew availability limitations often result in orchards not being thinned in an optimal way for maximum fruit quality
5 Why is fruit thinned? Crowding results in low quality, small fruit Thinning results in high quality, large fruit
6 Technology mechanized thinning Two levels of technology are being used for fruit thinning mechanization: Non-selective Selective
7 Non-selective thinners String thinners PT 250 Darwin 300
8 Drum shaker
9 Hand held string thinners From the Washington State investigators
10 Positioning issues
11 String thinner positioning making the work easier for the operator Two-tiered approach to controlled positioning Joystick control Sensor control
12 Joystick control E- Stop LED Indicator Lights Autonomy Controls Joystick for Tilt and Offset This is an interim step for providing easier manual positioning control
13 Controller adjusts the spindle accordingly Two degrees of motion: angle of spindle, lateral position of spindle
14 Modifications: Sonar sensors Thinner Moved to Rear SICK laser
15 hydraulics and controls added components: Lateral Offset Cylinder Tilt Cylinder Flow Divider Proportional Control Valves
16 Ultrasonic Sensing Arduino Microcontroller $65 4 Sonar Range Finders Maxbotix LV-MaxSonar-WR1 $100 Low Cost GPS USGlobalSat EM-406A GPS Module $60
17 Ultrasonically Sensed Position z Best Fit Line Sensor Distance Readings (dashed lines) x Orchard Row Sensor Mast y
18 Laser Sensing Trimble AG GPS 442 SICK LMS 120 Laser Rangefinder $ thousands
19 Automated positioning
20 Selective Thinning Select blossoms/small fruit to be removed for higher precision in thinning using machinery

38 Results of Non-Selective Thinning Trials in 4 States New molded hollow cords tested in 2009
39 Before thinning Blossom Removal 35 to 50% After thinning
40 Follow-Up Hand Thinning $100 to $400/acre savings Hrs/ acre Treatments with different letters are significantly different at P=0.05
41 Flower Removal (%) California Molded Strings - 2 Rows - No Gaps - 2 mph y = 0.614x R 2 = y = 0.588x R 2 = y = 0.552x - 49 y = 0.788x - 82 R 2 = R 2 = 1 y = 0.588x R 2 = y = 0.528x R 2 = y = 0.436x R 2 = Spindle Rotation (rpm)
42 Percent Production South Carolina Fruit Size Distribution from Three Thinning Treatments in Nesstar Peaches Large Medium Control 220 rpm, 1.8 mph 200 rpm, 1.8mph Small
43 Washington
44 Pennsylvania % Flower Removal in Bloom Stage Trials
45 Pennsylvania % Flower Removal in Pruning Trials
46 Drum Shaker Trials - PA String thinner at bloom/drum shaker for green fruit thinning an effective combination New drum shaker at green fruit stage more consistent than previous citrus shaker prototypes Smaller rods, tilting drums, front or side-mount Tree damage still a problem
47 Thinning results from 2011 (controlled positioning) % blossoms thinned Upper canopy Lower canopy Scaffold Manually operated joystick 62.8 a 63.5 a 63.1 a Ultrasonic controlled positioning 49.7 a 35.4 b 43.7 b Laser controlled positioning 61.2 a 51.9 a 58.7 a Blossom density, flowers/cm 2 cross-sectional area Upper canopy Lower canopy Scaffold Manually operated joystick 3.9 a 1.3 a 3.6 a Ultrasonic controlled positioning 4.7 a 2.7 b 5.8 a Laser controlled positioning 4.7 a 1.9 a 4.8 a
48 Challenges and Limitations Non-selective thinners work well with stone fruit, but major challenges with pome fruit Selective thinning is an extremely complex task Locating branches, blossoms, 2-D and 3-D Mobility of robotic in field Cost of robotic approach Speed of activity
49 Economic Evaluations
50 Net Economic Impact Processing Peach Plantings $236 to $1490/acre Fresh Peach Plantings $185 to $934/acre Hand Thinned Blossom Thinned with String Thinner Labor savings and yield increases (due to larger fruit size) were of greater importance for canning peach growers Increased fruit size had a greater positive impact for fresh market producers
51 Technology Adoption Case Study Interviews 11 growers who had thinned a total of 154 acres Employees liked thinner - saved time/minimized ladder use Hand thinning completed earlier - more timely work in other crops 100% said hand thinning time reduced 80% said fruit were larger
