Abstract

To increase strawberry yields through the use of high-density culture, we developed a system that circulates movable benches longitudinally and laterally past an overhead watering unit, a sub-irrigation unit, and a chemical spraying unit. Each bench can load 13 plant pots, allowing a planting density of 125000 plants per ha. Evaluation of the basic functions showed an operation time of 71.2s per cycle and the consumption of 3.67Wh of electricity per cycle. The movable bench reached a maximum acceleration of approximately 1.47m/s2 (0.15G) when the lateral movement unit stopped, and in the transfer of the benches between the longitudinal unit and the lateral movement unit no collision between fruits on the same plant was observed. The results show the possibility of high-density culture of strawberry on movable benches.
