Evaluation and Impacts of Grape Harvester Parameters on Harvest Losses

Abstract The subject of this study was to evaluate the visible crop losses during mechanized harvesting grapes, assess impacts changes in machine parameters and thus look for possibility reducing when utilizing method harvesting. A comparison with amount arising from manual also monitored. research results indicated average total 1.10–5.62% harvested monitoring revealed occurring area columns supporting structure. These ranged 0.2% 0.53% crop. Losses were found at an 1.09% or 1.78%. This explored how due grape can be reduced.
