Top Stop Twist Pliers
Product information "Top Stop Twist Pliers "
Special pliers for mechanical terminal shoot regulation in Nordmann and Nobili firs.
From bud burst to a length of the new shoots of 5 cm, the Top-Stop-Twist pliers are the Top-Stop pincer on the previous year's terminal shoot and turn the Top-Stop pincer with its 5 blades through 45º. This injures the bark (cambium) and inhibits the sap flow to the terminal bud. The cut should be made half a nipper head width above the branch crown of the previous year. When carried out properly, this method reduces increment by up to 30 % compared to untreated trees.
Advantages in use:
- Top Stop tongs can be used regardless of the weather. The effect
is influenced neither by rain nor by sunshine.
- the application can be carried out in a time window of up to 6 weeks (from bud burst to about the beginning of June).
- No chemical agents are used. Thus there is no risk.
The TopStop tongs of the 2023 generation no longer have a diameter adjustment screw, as this is no longer needed.
