Mechanical harvesting systems harvested more than 17,000 acres of Florida citrus in the 2002-03 season. Two types of mechanical harvesters are being used today: continuous canopy shake and trunk shake systems. Continuous canopy shake systems will be discussed in this article and trunk shake harvesting systems will be discussed in other documents. This document is HS1006, one of a series of the Horticultural Sciences Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Harvesting Costs

As discussed in other documents regarding various aspects of mechanical harvesting, Florida citrus growers must adopt new technology to reduce harvesting costs, thus allowing our citrus industry to compete with low-wage countries in a global juice marketplace. Trunk shake systems are a viable mechanical harvesting system which growers should consider in an effort to lower harvesting costs, increase fruit returns, and remain competitive. This document is HS1005, one of a series of the Horticultural Sciences Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Florida Citrus

Grass weeds commonly found in citrus can be identified by looking for specific characteristics of the plant. The 12 grass plants discussed in this article are weeds commonly found in citrus groves and other disturbed and cultivated sites in the state of Florida. The characteristics discussed in this article should help you with identification. This document is HS955, one of a series of the Horticultural Sciences Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Seed Characteristics

Vines are classified as broadleaf plants. As with other plants, they are classified as either annuals, biennials, or perennials. A combination of leaf, stem, fruit, and/or seed characteristics will aid in the identification process. A useful guide of characteristics to identify broadleaf plants are included at the end of this article. This document is HS926, one of a series of the Horticultural Sciences Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Water Nutrients

Sedges are annual or mostly perennial grass-like plants with aerial flower-bearing stems. In annual forms, the stem is solitary to mostly several with basal leaves. Perennial forms have a thick rootstock or an erect to horizontal underground rhizome usually with shortened internodes. Sedges are of little economic value to man but can be very competitive with the desired crop for water, nutrients and space. This document is HS962, one of a series of the Horticultural Sciences Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Citrus Trees

Millions of boxes of fruit and thousands of acres of citrus trees have been lost in freezes and frosts. Oranges are usually damaged when the fruit are exposed to temperatures of 28°F or lower for 4 hours or more. As the temperature gets colder or durations below 28°F get longer, damage to fruit, leaves, twigs, and eventually large branches increases. More than nearly any other factor, freezes have caused some of the most dramatic changes in fruit supply, availability, and price. Thus, any method that provides some cold protection can be of major importance to citrus growers. This document is Fact Sheet HS-931, one of a series of the Horticultural Sciences Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.
