[0002] Girdling is an auxiliary technical measure commonly used in fruit tree cultivation and management, aiming to adjust the growth rhythm of fruit trees and promote the quality and yield of fruits. In some cases, girdling the bark is necessary, especially for jujube trees, persimmon trees, citrus trees and hawthorn trees. Girdling has a long history in fruit trees, and the method is simple, labor-saving and efficient. However, girdling is a man-made injury to the tree, and it is also a highly technical work. If not handled properly, excessive girdling and wide girdling can lead to leaf loss, branch death, tree death and early decline of tree vigor. The most direct impact of girdling on the tree is physical damage to the tree, which increases the risk of insect and pathogen invasion into the tree.

[0003] To reduce the negative effects of girdling and maintain its advantages, some orchard producers and scholars have improved girdling, such as using straps, iron wires and electric heating rings to girdle and electrically heat girdling without damage, in order to achieve the purpose of low damage or no damage to the tree. Non-invasive physical measures such as girdling without damage belong to the category of non-invasive physical measures, which use physical materials to compress the tree and remove the force materials after fruit harvesting, thereby restoring the phloem transport function. However, the existing girdling device generally uses full-circle girdling, which causes greater damage to the fruit tree, and in the later stage, the girdling device is wrapped inside due to the rapid growth of the fruit tree, making it difficult to remove the girdling device without damage.

[0026] The two groups of ring hoops 1 arranged in a 90° spatial staggered layout can more comprehensively and uniformly apply pressure to the trunk, and at the same time form a more stable structure to ensure the stability and continuity of the ring pressure effect. Each group of ring hoops 1 has a part of the area not ring-pressed, generally 1 / 6-1 / 4 of the circumference of the trunk, and the unring-pressed area can keep part of the phloem intact, allowing organic nutrients to continue to transport to the roots through this part of the channel, maintaining the basic nutritional needs of each part of the tree, thereby reducing the damage to the overall growth of the fruit tree, and the damage is smaller than that of full-circle ring pressure. At the same time, the two groups of ring hoops 1 cooperate to form a complete ring in projection, so that the ring pressure area in the circumferential direction of the trunk has continuity and can form an approximately complete blocking effect.

[0031] For fruit trees of different varieties and ages, the trunk diameters are significantly different, the telescopic connecting piece 2 can flexibly adjust the distance between the two groups of hoops 1 according to the thickness of the trunk, so that the ring pressure device can adapt to different diameters of the trunk, effectively expanding the application range of the device; the spherical pair connection between the connecting piece 2 and the support 107 can realize the function of universal rotation, has good flexibility, can be fine-tuned according to the thickness change and surface undulation of the trunk, so that the hoop 1 can better fit the surface of the trunk, accurately control the fitting degree and pressure distribution between the hoop 1 and the trunk, and make the ring pressure force evenly applied to the target position, prevent the trunk from being damaged due to improper distance and insufficient pressure affecting the ring pressure effect, realize more scientific and efficient fruit tree ring pressure management, meet the diversified needs of different fruit tree ring pressure operations, and significantly improve the practicality and adaptability of the fruit tree ring pressure device, for example, the ring pressure position of one of the hoops 1 is appropriate, but the ring pressure position of the other hoop 1 is not appropriate, at this time, the position of the other hoop 1 can be reasonably adjusted to adapt to the trunk.

[0032] The above-described embodiments only express one embodiment of the present application, which is described in more detail and in more detail, but it cannot be understood as a limitation on the scope of the present application.
