Demonstration of mechanical row-between weeding technologies in an orchard

The Horticultural Innovation Expertise Network (REIH), in collaboration with CETAB+, Quebec Apple Growers, ProduceTech, and La Pommeraie d’Or, invites you to a demonstration day focused on mechanical row-between weeding technologies in orchards.

Designed for apple growers, advisors, and other stakeholders in the apple industry, this event will provide an opportunity to explore innovative equipment under real-world production conditions and to interact directly with specialists, manufacturers, and project partners.

This event is part of the development of a new standardized protocol for evaluating weed control technologies in orchards. Participants will learn more about how this equipment is evaluated—both from a technical and a technical-economic perspective—in order to provide growers with reliable data to support their investment decisions.

What's on the agenda

Presentation of the new evaluation protocol developed by CETAB+ and the REIH approach;
Live demonstrations of the following equipment:
- Mira Tool Holder – ProduceTech
  - Speed Green
  - Hammer Mill
- SB Mono with Intercept RADIUS SL – Clemens Technologies
  - Lawn Mower
  - Rotary Harrow
Discussions with experts, manufacturers, and project partners;
Free dinner provided on-site.

The demonstrations will follow a set schedule, with each piece of equipment being presented in turn so that all participants can attend all of the demonstrations.
