The phytonutrient intake associated with tomato consumption depends also on cultivar and fruit ripening stage. This work associates the antioxidative ability, the level of carotenoids, and the amount of glycoalkaloids to the main carpometric characteristics of four different typologies of tomatoes: "cherry", "cluster", "elongated," and "salad". These typologies have different weights and shapes...

This paper aims to develop a visual servo control of robotic manipulator for cherry tomato harvesting. In the manipulator, an RGB-depth camera was mounted end effector acquire poses target tomatoes in space. The eye-in-hand-based controller guides implement eye–hand coordination harvest tomatoes, which hybrid method (HVSC) with fuzzy dynamic parameters proposed by combining position-based (PBVS...

Strawberries, cherry tomatoes, and red bayberries, which are the most popular types of fresh produce in China, are vulnerable to microbial contamination. In this study, different sanitizing methods [treatment with 2% organic acids, 0.02% sodium hypochlorite (SH), 0.1% sodium chlorite (SC), and 0.1% acidified sodium chlorite (ASC)] were applied to fresh strawberry, cherry tomato, and red bayberr...

The objectives of this experiment were to determine the effects of different application rates of an enzyme hydrolyzed animal protein biostimulant (Pepton) compared to a standard application rate of a biostimulant derived from seaweed extract (Acadian) on plant growth parameters and yield of gold cherry tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.). Biostimulant treatments were applied starting at 15 days...

The aim of this study was to measure the gas permeability of edible films using a homemade experimental apparatus and to determine the respiration rate of tomatoes (L. esculentun var. Cerasiforme) without (NC) and with (CC) edible coating at different temperatures. Permeability was determined using an experimental device according to the ASTM D1434 method and the apparatus was validated using p...

The rapid and accurate detection of cherry tomatoes is great significance to realizing automatic picking by robots. However, so far, are detected as only one class for picking. Fruits occluded branches or leaves pickable objects, which may cause damage the plant robot end-effector during This study proposed Feature Enhancement Network Block (FENB) based on YOLOv4-Tiny solve above problem. First...
