Weeds in orchards do great harm to fruit trees and can directly or indirectly affect fruit production in orchards. Weeds not only compete with fruit trees for nutrients and affect their growth, but also are intermediate hosts and overwintering hosts of various diseases and pests. When weeds grow more luxuriantly, it is easy to induce diseases and insect pests, and reduce the yield and quality of orchard fruit. According to statistics, weeds can reduce the yield of fruit trees by 10% ~ 20%, so weeding is an important means to maintain the orchard. Scientific and effective control of weeds can not only ensure the healthy growth of fruit trees, improve fruit quality and yield, but also reduce the occurrence of diseases and pests in orchards. Because of the suitable environment, ventilation and light transmission, the orchard is prone to weeds. Therefore, regular weeding is an important part of orchard management. At present, there are many kinds of weeding methods, such as artificial weeding, chemical weeding and mechanical weeding. Manual weeding labor intensity, labor-consuming, time-consuming, operation efficiency is not high. Although weeding with pesticides saves labor and time, it also has great side effects. On the one hand, it is easy to cause pesticide residues in fruits and reduce the quality of fruits. Now people pay more attention to food safety, and the most serious food safety problem of fruits is pesticide residues, so in order to ensure the safety and quality of fruits, orchards should try to use less or no pesticides. On the other hand, pesticides are difficult to decompose and remain in soil, which will not only damage fruit trees, but also cause ecological problems, which is contrary to the purpose of sustainable development of agriculture. Mechanical weeding is fast, efficient, will not cause any environmental problems, cut weeds can also cover the soil, improve the physical and chemical properties of the soil. Therefore, the mechanical weeding of orchard is a very important measure. Of course, in the orchard mechanization weeding, we must adhere to the concept of combining agricultural machinery and agronomic requirements, ensure the effectiveness of the operation, and promote the development of orchard mechanization.<br>
