On banana plantations, a wide variety of tools are used in order to harvest and maintain crops. A few tools that are consistently used on banana plantations are shearing knives, pruners, and hand saws. In this blog we will take a look at each of these tools and provide insight into how these tools are effective on banana plantations. Continue reading to learn about the use of shearing knives, pruners, and hand saws in banana plantations.
Pruners:
Pruning your banana trees are recommended for increasing growth and ultimately improving yields. Pruners can cut individual leaves that are wilted or damaged which will improve the overall health of your tree as the healthy leaves will absorb more of their required nutrients. As there are a wide range of pruners out there, make sure you choose ones that are well built and will be able to easily prune your banana trees.
Shearing Knives:
Shearing knives are certainly a number one priority tool if you work on a banana plantation. Banana trees produce a lot of thick and dense leaves, and you need a sharp tool to remove the diseased or dead leaves. Some choose to use machetes, but we recommend a serrated edge shearing knife. These knives cut through leaves with ease and help you shape your plant. Shearing knives are also lightweight, allowing you to make quick cuts efficiently without consuming too much energy.
Hand Saws:
Hand saws are used after the harvest of banana trees. The stem of a tree is cut back to prepare for the next season and the best way to cut through these strong stems is to use a durable hand saw. A sharp bladed hand saw is best suited to the task in order to maximize efficiency.
