An Improved Pole-and-Knife Method of Harvesting
CiteSeerX Document Details (Isaac Councill, Lee Giles, Pradeep Teregowda): A modified pole-and-and-knife (MPK) method of harvesting oil palms was designed and fabricated. The method was tested along with two existing methods, namely the bamboo pole-and-knife (BPK) and the single rope-and-cutlass (SRC) methods. Test results showed that the MPK method was superior to the other methods in

pole used for harvesting FFB for tall palms (Foo, 1981). However, due to its low productivity and scarcity, other options had to be identified. Realising the problem, the Palm Oil Research Institute of Malaysia (PORIM) (now the Malaysian Palm Oil Board) had developed an improved harvesting pole made of light aluminium alloy that had better

Abstract. Rosana G. Moreira, Editor-in-Chief; Texas A&M UniversityThis is a paper from International Commission of Agricultural Engineering (CIGR, Commission Internationale du Genie Rural) E-Journal Volume 9 (2007): An Improved Pole-and-Knife Method of Harvesting Oil Palms.
The oil palm defies this harvesting method because the fruits are compactly packed in bunches which are hidden in leaf axils in the crowns. in Malaysia showed that for palms aged between 9

After harvesting of rice in the furrows, the area can be put under oil seed crops, besides suitable vegetables during dry season (Velmurugan et al., 2015). The system also increases the cropping intensity from the present level of 100% in the rice to 250%–300% in the beds and 200% in the furrows of the broad bed-furrow system.
- What is a modified pole-and-knife method of harvesting oil palms?

- Can aluminium harvesting pole be used to harvest oil palm trees?
- are much lighter in weight. Because the leng th was variable, the aluminium harvesting pole will be able to conveniently harvest trees on different plots. D. Adetan, L. Adekoya and K. Oladejo. “A n Improved Pole-and-Knife Method of Harvesting the Oil Palm”.

The tarpaulin was tough enough to withstand impact by the bunches while the polythene prevented moisture absorption by the catchment platform. The foam made the
- Is oil palm a bunch-harvested plant?
- Ho wever, oil palm harvesting still defies the best attempts at mechanization (Russ, 1998). are shake-catch systems (Futch et al., 2006). Oi l palm defies this method of harvesting, which are hidden in leaf axils in crowns that may be over 12 m above the ground. It is therefore bunch-harvested.
- Is harvesting oil palm fruit a cultural activity?
- Among all cultural activities, harvesting of oil palm fresh fruit bunches (FFBs) is considered as challenging, laborious (43 to 45 per cent of total annual man-days in productive life span of 9 to 25 years) and expensive (16 to 18 per cent of total production cost) (Evan and Gray, 1969; Awaludin et al., 2015; Prasad et al., 2015).
