Abstract: Pruning the stems of bushes that are low and lying in the inter-rows of oil-bearing rose plantations is among the manual activities in the cultivation of the oil-bearing crop. The article presents the results of a study on the mechanization of the technological operation, expressed in a defined method and substantiated parameters of a technical means for mechanized side pruning near the base of the rose bushes. The expectation from the use of a farm machine, made in accordance with the defined method and with the substantiated parameters, are a multiple shortening of the terms and the necessary manpower for the realization of the pruning activity, increasing the productivity of the technological operation.
Keywords: mechanization; method; oil-bearing rose; parameters; side pruning; stems
