dc.description.abstract | At a time of increasing demand, the extremely high cost of manual labor
required to harvest fruit in table olive groves is limiting the economic survival of the crop
in many producing countries. New grove designs and management practices such as
superhigh-density (SHD) groves now in use in oil olive production should be explored as
an option to facilitate mechanical harvesting in table olives. The feasibility of two table
olive cultivars, Manzanilla de Sevilla and Manzanilla Caceren˜a, to be harvested in a 5-
year-old SHD grove (1975 trees/ha) was studied in 2012 when trees of both cultivars
formed highly productive continuous hedgerows (’10,000 and 18,000 kg·haL1
, respectively).
The differences between manual and mechanical harvesting using a grape
straddle harvester were evaluated taking into consideration harvesting time, efficiency in
fruit removal, and fruit quality both before and after processing as Spanish-style green
olives. The average harvest time per hectare with a grape straddle harvester was less than
1.7 hours compared with 576 person/hour or more when done manually. Fruit removal
efficiency was high in both cases, 98% for mechanical treatment and 100% for hand
treatment. Mechanically harvested fruits had a high proportion of bruising damage
(greater than 90%) and the severity of the damage was greater in ‘Manzanilla de Sevilla’
than in ‘Manzanilla Caceren˜a’. After Spanish-style green processing, however, the
proportion of bruised fruits was below 3% in each cultivar. The fruit size in both
cultivars was suitable for table olive processing and only 7% and 4% of ‘Manzanilla de
Sevilla’ and ‘Manzanilla Caceren˜a’ fruits, respectively, were diverted to oil extraction as
a result of insufficient size. Small differences were found between processed ‘Manzanilla
Caceren˜a’ fruits that were manually or mechanically harvested. In contrast, mechanically
harvested ‘Manzanilla de Sevilla’ fruits showed a significantly higher proportion of
cutting (18%), a type of damage that may take place during harvesting, and lower
firmness and texture than those harvested manually. | es |
