Abstract
A simple system has been developed to generate yield maps of hand-harvested citrus in a reliable, low-cost manner using a commercial GPS recorder. Ind ividual 0.7-m(3) container locations are mapped to indicate yield variation s within a citrus block. Further future refinements are discussed. The syst em is applicable to other manually harvested crops and harvesting systems. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
