Vibration analysis of the fruit detachment process in late-season ‘Valencia’ orange with canopy shaker technology
(2019)
The mechanical harvesting of juice oranges can be achieved by the application of forced vibration to the tree canopy to detach fruit. Among the available harvesting technologies, canopy shaker systems have the advantage ...
La maqueta como herramienta de aprendizaje para desarrollo de maquinaria agrícola
(UCOPress, 2019)
Se propone la introducción de un ejercicio basado en proyectos en la asignatura de “Diseño de maquinaria agraria. Automática agraria”. Para resolver el problema los alumnos han de pasar por todas las fases de las metodologías ...
Assessment of the Accuracy of a Multi-Beam LED Scanner Sensor for Measuring Olive Canopies
(MDPI, 2018)
Canopy characterization has become important when trying to optimize any kind of agricultural operation in high-growing crops, such as olive. Many sensors and techniques have reported satisfactory results in these approaches ...
In-Field Estimation of Orange Number and Size by 3D Laser Scanning
(MDPI, 2019)
The estimation of fruit load of an orchard prior to harvest is useful for planning harvest logistics and trading decisions. The manual fruit counting and the determination of the harvesting capacity of the field results ...
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 ...
Olive Crown Porosity Measurement Based on Radiation Transmittance: An Assessment of Pruning Effect
(MDPI, 2016)
Crown porosity influences radiation interception, air movement through the fruit orchard,
spray penetration, and harvesting operation in fruit crops. The aim of the present study was to develop
an accurate and reliable ...
Olive Actual “on Year” Yield Forecast Tool Based on the Tree Canopy Geometry Using UAS Imagery
(MDPI, 2017)
Olive has a notable importance in countries of Mediterranean basin and its profitability
depends on several factors such as actual yield, production cost or product price. Actual “on
year” Yield (AY) is production (kg ...
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 ...
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 ...
