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.

Loss sampling methods for soybean mechanical harvest
Bioscience Journal, 2022 Harvesting is one of the most important stages of the agricultural production process. However, the lack of monitoring during this operation and the absence of efficient methodologies to quantify losses have contributed to the decline in the quality of ...

Mechanical harvesting of broilers
Poultry Science, 1998 At the end of the growout phase of broiler production essentially all broilers are caught and loaded into coops or cages entirely by hand. The catching of broilers remains one of the few aspects of broiler production not yet automated. Vacuum systems, permanent conveyors recessed in the floors of growout facilities, collecting mats, scoops, and self ...

Integrated metabolomic and transcriptomic analysis reveal the effect of mechanical stress on sugar metabolism in tea leaves (Camellia sinensis) post-harvest [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Sugar metabolites not only act as the key compounds in tea plant response to stress but are also critical for tea quality formation during the post-harvest processing of tea leaves.
