薰衣草收获技术发展综述

Abstract

The harvesting technology of China's lavender industry is in urgent need of improvement, and there is a pressing demand to expedite the development of mechanized collection equipment to facilitate the modernization process and optimize efficiency within the sector. This article adopts a literature review method to introduce the current research status of lavender harvesting techniques, including mechanical properties, harvesting time, and distribution of essential oils in stems and leaves, both domestically and internationally. It is found that there is relatively little research on lavender harvesting techniques in China, and the main research hotspots are focused on industrial development and essential oil extraction. By summarizing the mechanical harvesting equipment and its characteristics of lavender both domestically and internationally, it is analyzed that developed countries have fully achieved mechanical harvesting of lavender, while China's level of mechanical harvesting of lavender lags far behind developed countries. It is proposed to develop diversified lavender harvesting equipment, strengthen the research and cooperation of lavender harvesting machinery, promote the integration of agricultural machinery and agronomy, and combine basic research with equipment development. These development measures have a certain reference and promotion effect on accelerating the process of mechanical harvesting of lavender in China.
