Kiwifruit harvesting with robotics can be troublesome due to the clustering feature. The gripper of end effector will easily cause unstable fruit grasping, or bending and separation action interfere neighboring because an inappropriate grasping angle, which further affect success rate. Therefore, predicting correct angle for each guide safely approach, grasp, bend separate fruit. To improve rat...

Automatic estimation of the amount of trash, such as branches and leaves, collected by a mechanical citrus harvester during harvesting eliminates problems in the processing plants with handling diseased leaves and fruit. A machine vision system was developed to estimate the amount of trash collected by a citrus canopy shake and catch harvester by acquiring and analyzing the images of the harves...

The development of autonomous robots for agricultural applications includes motion planning, fruit picking, and collision avoidance with surrounding environments, these become challenging tasks. For harvesting applications, robust control the manipulator is needed effective robot. Several combinations Proportional(P)- Integrative(I)- Derivative(D) controllers are modelled a simulation study was...

in order to evaluate the effect of foliar application of salicylic acid on the qualitative characters of strawberry fruit, a factorial experiment (treatment+ the time of harvesting) based on completely randomized design with 3 replications was conducted in a greenhouse and the laboratories of department of horticultural science of university college of agriculture and natural resources, univers...

In this study, the effects on quality characteristics such as mass, length, width and color (L*, a* b*) in blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L. cv. 'Bluecrop') fruit of biofilm (ParkaTM) sprayed pre-harvest different regimes were investigated. The highest mass was measured T1, T3, T4 T8 treatments at harvest, whereas all harvest +7 similar. At +7, length obtained T1 treatments, respectively. Frui...

Badea is known for the size and shape of fruit, or as giant passion fruit. The propagation passifloraceas mainly done by means seeds. Seed conservation one main steps in seedling production that makes it possible to guarantee maximum quality theseed a given period oftime can be through refrigeration.The experiment was conducted greenhouse Federal Institute Education, Science Technology Tocantin...

The research on evaluating the biological efficiency of Lifeline, WS herbicide (glufosinate ammonium, 280 g/l), UPL Holdings Ltd, Netherlands, was carried out in field experiments near trunk lanes apple garden.
 It’s established that with a three time application to fruit plants dose 1,1 and 1,8 l/ha showed high against perennial annual weeds (100 %). By harvesting garden were free weed pl...
