Abstract:Mechanised watercress harvesting involves clamping and cutting its stalks, which can result in their incomplete breaking and crushing. The harvest quality is directly affected by the force used to clamp and cut the watercress stalks. Therefore, studying the physical and mechanical properties of the stalks is important to accurately calculate the force that needs to be applied. Herein, the microstructure of watercress stalk sections with and without nodes was observed using scanning electron microscopy. Moreove… Show more
