Скачать или смотреть Picking papayas from high altitude and using colorful cloth to catch fruits: a rural wisdom

In orchards, workers use a simple yet ingenious method to harvest high-hanging papayas. One person gently taps the papaya with a long pole, causing it to fall from the branch. Two others catch the falling fruit below with a colorful cloth. During this operation, workers must control the force and angle of the tapping to prevent the papaya from falling or injuring the person catching the cloth, while also carefully positioning themselves to avoid accidental collisions. The tall trees and the messy or slippery ground complicate the task, but this method allows for efficient collection without the need for mechanical equipment. A key challenge is ensuring coordination, as otherwise the fruit might fall off the cloth or be damaged. This low-cost, collaborative method allows workers to complete the harvest safely and efficiently, demonstrating the practical wisdom and experience of fruit harvesting in rural orchards.
