AUTOMATED SYSTEMS AS A FACTOR AFFECTING ON FLOWERS PLANT HARVESTING

Abstract

In the last decade, the adoption of fully automated systems in agricultural operations has become an urgent need due to high labor costs and low efficiency. The harvesting process is one of those agricultural activities that require a lot of work in addition to high costs. The study investigates different fully automated harvesting systems for one of the most important crops, medicinal and aromatic plants, especially flowers which are involved in many industries and characterized by high economic importance in the global trade balance of crops. Process technologies that include harvest automation and standardization of the automated system detection problems and accuracy were analyzed and compared. Finally, to solve the various problems that facing the cutting flowers production, it is necessary to accelerate the development of mechanized harvesting, realize the mechanization of information acquisition and standardization in order to advance precision agriculture and agricultural wisdom for the future.
