Coffee harvest mechanization has spread and has become an irreversible process. However, maturation non uniformity is a limiting factor for both mechanical and hand harvesting, because it reduces operational performance and coffee bean quality. Therefore, this work had as objective to study the performance of mechanized harvest on coffee plantations treated with Ethephon, as well as, to evaluate the influ...
Coffee harvest (Coffea arabica L.) is an expensive process that demands high costs with labor, increasingly scarce in its various stages: cleaning under coffee tree canopy, harvest, sweeping , gathering, fanning and transport. Harvesting is the removal of grains from the plant, a stage where mechanization augment constantly. Mechanical harvesting does not remove all grains from the plant and a complementary han...
