Abstract
ABSTRACT A device to induce pollination in tomatoes grown out of season has been developed. Two prototypes versions were constructed: one tractor-mounted for field-grown tomatoes and one back-pack model for green-house-grown tomatoes. Both models employ a pulsating air jet as a vibration energy carrier. In field tests the use of these prototypes resulted in an increased pollination rate and greater yield of tomatoes.
期刊介绍：
This peer-reviewed journal publishes research that advances the engineering of agricultural, food, and biological systems. Submissions must include original data, analysis or design, or synthesis of existing information; research information for the improvement of education, design, construction, or manufacturing practice; or significant and convincing evidence that confirms and strengthens the findings of others or that revises ideas or challenges accepted theory.
