The mechanization of hop picking has led to a study of techniques for harvesting experiments by machine. An investigation of the accuracy of machine picking compared with hand picking, for this purpose, is described. It was found that variability was approximately the same for both picking methods, and treatment responses were similar.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
