The goal of the robot harvester project’s second phase, FY 2004-2005, was to begin to validate Vision Robotics’ concept for mapping orange trees using the scout robot.
In the summer of 2005, fludioxonil and pyrimethanil were registered in California folllowing the federal registration in the fall of 2004 for postharvest use on citrus.
Vision Robotics (VRC) has demonstrated that it is possible to see all the oranges (>99%) on trees in production groves from somewhere outside the tree canopy.
