Picking sour cherries and plums, compared to other orchard maintenance
operations, like cutting, fertilizing and protecting fruit, requires the engagement of a
large labor force, much time, and carries high costs, that influence the price of the
product heavily. This paper analyzes the possibilities related to the use of a mechanized
way of picking, i.e. shaking, showing the advantages of using shakers. Besides the
analysis of the shake-off time, this paper also presents the indicators of economic
advantages of the application of a tractor-driven fruit shaker for a certain fruit plantation
over hand picking. Research has undoubtedly shown the advantage of using shaker over
the manual way of picking of fruit. Ubiranje višanja i šljiva u poređenju sa ostalim operacijama obrade
voćnjaka, orezivanja, đubrenja i zaštite voćka zahteva veliko angažovanje radne snage,
dugačak vremenski period, odnosno visoke troškove koji se odražavaju i na cenu
proizvoda. U radu je analizirana mogućnost primene mehanizovanog načina ubiranja,
otresanjem, uz obrazloženje prednosti primene tresača. Osim analize vremena otresanja
dati su i pokazatelji ekonomske prednosti primene konkretnog traktorskog tresača voća
za određenu plantažu voća u odnosu na ručno branje. Istraživanja su ukazala na
prednosti primene tresača u odnosu na ručno branje plodova.
