Vibration Monitoring of the Mechanical Harvesting of Citrus to Improve Fruit Detachment Efficiency
(MDPI, 2019)
The introduction of a mechanical harvesting process for oranges can contribute to enhancing farm profitability and reducing labour dependency. The objective of this work is to determine the spread of the vibration in citrus ...
Assessment of a Side-Row Continuous Canopy Shaking Harvester and Its Adaptability to the Portuguese Cobrançosa Variety in High-Density Olive Orchards
(MDPI, 2023)
The olive tree is an important crop in Portugal, where different levels of intensification coexist. The traditional olive orchards present profitability problems, mainly due to harvesting, so there has been a drastic ...
The contribution of fruit and leaves to the dynamic response of secondary branches of orange trees
(Elsevier, 2020)
The current commercial technologies for mass harvesting fruit are based on the
application of forced vibration to the tree, which is transmitted to the fruits causing their
detachment. The dynamic behaviour of the plant ...
The vibration behaviour of hedgerow olive trees in response to mechanical harvesting with straddle harvester
(Elsevier, 2019)
Understanding tree behaviour under mechanical harvesting is very important for orchard management and machine design. The objective of this work is to determine the Dynamic response of trees, in a hedgerow arrangement, to ...
A smart system for the automatic evaluation of green olives visual quality in the field
(Elsevier, 2020)
Monitoring some of the parameters that affect the quality of table olives for green processing is fundamental in a farmer's decision making. This work develops an affordable system for in-the-field evaluation of fruit ...
Fruit abscission pattern of ‘Valencia’ orange with canopy shaker system
(2019)
Fruit detachment can occur due to natural causes or be mechanically performed by a
combination of mechanical stresses that cause tissue breakage in the plant. Forced abscission
should not coincide with natural abscission ...
