Roland van Doremaele, Christiaens, The Netherlands
Robotic harvesting in mushrooms has been in development for decades, with earlier harvesters having limited success.
The drawer system from the Christiaens Group in The Netherlands is a fully integrated approach to growing, harvesting, and packing mushrooms.
In this system, the shelves move between growing and harvesting rooms, which has positive implications for pest and disease management, as well as improving harvest efficiency and making the working environment more attractive to pickers.
It would also allow the ready incorporation of a robotic harvester, should this technology become viable in the future.
Chatting to MushroomLink’s Dr Jenny Ekman at the AMGA conference, Roland highlights all the benefits of the drawer system and the technologies available to growers now.
