Two Almond Cultivars Trained in a Super-High Density Orchard Show Different Growth, Yield Efficiencies and Damages by Mechanical Harvesting

Agronomy, 2021
Modern almond growing travels on the tracks of super-high density (SHD). Born in 2010, it has already reached 6700 ha planted all over the world. This new cultivation system needs to define efficient agronomic techniques in order to identify it as a ...

MECHANICAL OLIVE HARVESTING SYSTEMS [PDF]

Acta Horticulturae, 1999
Trunk or bough shakers for the mechanical harvesting of olives can be complemented by collecting equipment now available: the inverted umbrella and the rolling canvas catching frame. The performance of both is compared with the traditional method of collecting olives on a canvas layed manually under the tree, the fruit being detached by shakers.
