Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Wild blueberry fruit losses before harvest were lower early than later in the season.
- Observation Un-harvested berries on the plants were lower than ground losses.
- Observation losses through the blower were lower than ground losses.
- Association Harvest losses rose with fruit yield, with correlations 0.54 to 0.82.
- Association ground speed significantly affected harvester picking efficiency.
- Association header rpm significantly affected harvester picking efficiency.
- Association their interaction significantly affected harvester picking efficiency.
- Recommendation A suitable speed and rpm combination can minimize harvest losses.
- Recommendation The authors infer that minimizing losses can increase harvestable yield and profitability.
