Researchers in California have demonstrated the feasibility of a selective field lettuce harvester where mature lettuce heads are identified by an X-ray signal through the lettuce head, which then instructs the harvester accordingly.
Even if developing agricultural systems should follow this route, it is still important that state-of-the-art on-farm equipment for treatment and preservation is available in the future.
