| Abstract |
The aim of this study is to design, construct, and evaluate a self-propelled machine for pollination of date palm trees, along with other services such as pest control and pruning. The designed machine consists of a self-propelled chassis, telescopic tubes, and pollination or other devices. The main results can be summarized in the following:
• The average machine productivity was 10 palm tree/h.
• Pollination cost for the designed machine was 0.74 LE/palm tree, whereas, the pollination cost by a traditional method was
2.5 LE/palm tree.
• Fuel consumption and power requirements ranges were 0.21 – 0.33; 0.38 – 0.58; 0.34 – 0.53 and 0.29 – 0.34 L/h, 0.68 – 1.06; 1.22 – 1.87; 1.1 – 1.71 and 0.93 – 1.39 kW when motor speed ranged between 970 and 1990 rpm (forward speed ranged between 2.4 4.9 km/h) for lifting and lowering of telescopic tubes and moving around respectively.
