DOWNLOAD EBOOKShowing how the history of the apple goes far beyond the orchard and into the social, cultural and technological developments of Britain and the USA, this book takes an interdisciplinary approach to reveal the importance of the apple as a symbol of both tradition and innovation. From the 18th century in Britain, technology innovation in fruit production and orchard management resulted in new varieties of apples being cultivated and consumed, while the orchard became a representation of stability. In America orchards were contested spaces, as planting seedling apple trees allowed settlers to lay a claim to land. In this book Joanna Crosby explores how apples and orchards have reflected the social, economic and cultural landscape of their times. From the association between English apples and 'English' virtues of plain speaking, hard work and resultant high-quality produce, to practices of wassailing highlighting the effects of urbanisation and the decline of country ways and customs, Apples and Orchards from the Eighteenth Century shows how this everyday fruit provides rich insights into a time of significant social change.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe fruit production industry has been facing many challenges recently. For example, climate change, the introduction of new fruit-bearing species into production, traits of novel-bred fruit cultivars, innovations in orchard systems, rootstock/scion interactions, effects of fruit-growing technology and growing systems on yield, growing systems on yield, the appearance of new pathogens and pests, as well as birds and mammals in orchards, organic production, fruit quality and compounds, regulatory framework, high labour input, etc. Farmers need to have more up-to-date information and answers regarding these challenges. Modern fruit production is based on an adequate fruit-growing system, supported by many elements that complete this production.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book presents the progress, changes, and evolvement for apple mechanical harvest during the past decades, which include, but not limited to, bulky harvest method, harvest platform, apple infield sorting, and harvest robotics. Though there are significant progresses in apple harvest robotics, there still is a long way ahead before its practical applications, with existing and potential bottlenecks described in this book. Hence, other researchers would take advantage of this book to have a hint of the apple mechanical harvest history and state-of-the-art progress, so that they can find the room for their new research. This book targets senior undergraduates and more importantly graduate students in the field of agricultural engineering, sensing, automatic, and robotics.
