[0002] Apple is a widely planted fruit, belonging to the Rosaceae apple genus. Apple is known for its rich nutrition and diverse varieties, and is one of the most popular fruits in the world. Apple was introduced to Europe and other parts of Asia around 3000 BC. Most of the apples we eat today are grown in groups. Apple planting requires certain management techniques. First, irrigation and drainage management is required to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Second, reasonable fertilization is required to meet the nutritional needs of tree growth. In addition, pest control work is also required. Regularly check the growth of fruit trees and promptly discover and handle pest problems. Branch pruning is a very important part of apple orchard management. In order to ensure the healthy growth of fruit trees, increase yield and improve fruit quality, professional branch pruning equipment is widely used in the daily life of fruit farmers. The following are several common branch pruning equipment in apple planting. Manual scissors are one of the most common pruning tools, which are light and easy to operate, suitable for pruning small and easy-to-prune branches.
