Abstract: A device (1) for thinning in fruit growing includes at least one support (3) connected to a tube (2) to which are connected to one or More flexible elements/whips (6), the support (3) connected by at least one plate (10) to an operating machine. The tube (2) is connected to at least one air compressor to supply at least air with variable pressure and/or flow rate to the tube (2), the tube (2) being crossed by the flow of air flowing in the one or more flexible elements (6). The flexible elements/whips (6) are hollow and are able to move when crossed by the flow of air, the movement of the whips modulated by compressed air. The whips (6) have a random oscillatory movement for striking the parts to be thinned with a modulated force depending on the pressure and flow rate of the air flow delivered.

Abstract: 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.
