Benchmarking new methods for estimation of quantity and harvest timing of the mango crop
Prediction of the optimal time of harvest and the harvest fruit load is required by mango orchard managers. Four technologies were assessed: (i) field temperature sensors and heat units; (ii) non-destructive assessment of fruit flesh colour; (iii) machine vision for flowering and fruit load assessment; and (iv) fruit size estimation.
