Collard Defoliators

Collard Defoliators

From Flowering to Harvest

Leaf and flower cap removal can be achieved by using a Collard Ellipse Defoliator. It’s multi rotors, which feature the Collard patented double-flow where low-pressure air, produced by a booster, is blown through the leaves at fruit zone level by rotating nozzles. The rotating nozzles create a pulsed air that removes the leaves from both the outside and inside of the canopy row, achieving selective leaf removal around the grapes. Only this technology makes it possible to remove leaves from the falling of flower heads to harvest.

 

The key advantages of the Collard Pulsed Air System are:

Better aeration of the fruit zone.

Lower levels of acid rot and botrytis attack.

Better penetration of spray treatments.

Leaf removal beforehand harvesting offers potential time savings of up to 30%!
