Traditional Orchards are not suitable for
mechanical harvesting because the trees are
not trained for mechanical harvesting!

Conclusions
Economically feasible oil olive harvesting SpacingTraining and pruningContinuous harvesting Integrated pickup and transportMonitored and analyzed for costNot harm olive oil qualityNot harm tree health

Other Considerations
• Abscission Compounds– no consistent results
• Postharvest transport and storage– 5 – 10 mm/CO2/Kg/H @ 41*F (5*C)
• Postharvest tree treatment– Immediate/as needed copper for olive knot
