Summary

The concept of Assisted Harvesting in coffee picking in Colombia involves three practices: pass retention, manual coffee harvesting with tarps and semi-mechanized harvesting with the Derribadora DSC18. The first practice consists of extending the harvest passes for a longer time in order to increase the supply of ripe fruits on the trees. Harvesting with tarps, which requires the practice of retention of passes for better performance, consists of detaching the ripe fruits and letting them fall on tarps that are spread on the ground, which reduces the harvesting times to the point that significant increases are achieved. Harvesting with the Derribadora DSC18, which must also be used with the previous practices, consists of using the machine to loosen the ripe fruits on the trees. Field tests indicate that the increase in harvestable coffee mass due to retention, plus the reduction of movements to detach the fruits from the tree when using the tarps, can increase the harvesting efficiency by 40%, and that the use of the DSC- 18 machine can increase that efficiency by 180% on average. The quality of the harvest is acceptable.
