Studies indicate that this problem can be solved through the use of simple harvesting machines that are suitable for most farmers, which are branch-end shakers. In this research, a comparison was made between the method of picking by hand, the method of harvest with combs, and the method of harvest using a shaking machine at the ends of the branches. The harvest took place in the 2020 season on 30-year-old olive trees, the Khalkhali variety, in a field in Aleppo. The trees were not treated with any type of fruit drop stimulant. The results showed that the harvesting efficiency was 97.4%, 95.2 and 82.8%, respectively, for the studied harvesting methods with highly significant differences. The productivity of the worker amounted to 6.9 kg\/h, 11.7 kg\/h, and 35.7 kg\/h, respectively, and for the total affected fruits, which were 1.7%, 4.3%, and 9.6%, respectively. The readings of the ratio of fallen leaves, and small and large branches broken into fruits were not significant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"><strong>Keywords<\/strong>: Olive, Olive Harvest, Mechanical Olive Harvesting, Branches Shaker.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 17px;\">Full paper in Arabic: <a href=\"http:\/\/agri-research-journal.net\/SjarEn\/wp-content\/uploads\/v11n3p29.pdf\">pdf<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yahya Al Saleh (1)* (1) .
