| dc.description.abstract | The continuous increase in the yield and production rate of coconut orchards has urged the need for mechanization of coconut harvesting in India. The average yield, production and area of coconut is increasing since the last thirty four years. The drudgery in manual coconut harvesting, lack of climbing labours and the operational and safety problems in availing manual climbers have necessitated the need for the mechanization of coconut harvesting. Coconut growers are facing practical difficulty in coconut harvesting due to the height of the tree. The tractor mounted hydraulic elevator (TMHE) developed by Dr. B. S. Konkan Krishi Vidyapeeth Dapoli is a fully automatic harvesting device for harvesting tall coconut .orchard. The further development and testing of this elevator is in progress. The coconut harvesting field capacity of the developed TMHE is observed as 4,524 coconuts/day. | en_US |
