Mechanical Harvesting of Fruit
Mechanical Harvesting of Fruit Mechanical Harvesting of Fruit
Advantages: Picking-aids increase the supply of labor, reduce seasonal demands, stabilize the labor force and increase the potential of pool of laborers by improving working conditions
Disadvantages: �None of the picking-aids makes the harvesting competitive with standard methods and thus, their use is not justified economically! �As long as picking is done manually, the potential for increasing productivity is limited 27
