Zusammenfassung:Apparatus for imparting motion to a part of a growing plant includes means (10) for providing a pressurized stream of air, such as a compressed air source, feeding into a pressurized chamber (12) which has an outlet (14) provided with a flow modulating valve (16) arranged to provide a pulsed stream of air. An outlet nozzle (18) is arranged to direct the air stream at the part of the plant to be vibrated. The frequency of the pulses exceeds 200 c.p.m. and the apparatus can be used for pollinating plants, for harvesting fruit from plants, or measuring the natural frequency of a plant portion.
