Abstract
The mechanization of garlic production has been developed to solve labour shortages and improve the planting, harvesting, and processing operations. Various methods and machines have been designed and optimized for garlic production, including manually operated, animal-drawn, tractor-mounted, and self-propelled planters. Advances in technology have significantly improved field capacity, reduced labour requirements, and increased planting precision. For instance, tractor-operated planters have achieved field capacities ranging from 0.18 to 0.5 ha h?¹, with miss indices as low as 2.67%. Self-propelled planters have demonstrated an 87% reduction in labour demand, thereby proving their economic viability over traditional manual planting methods. Innovations such as garlic bulb breakers and precision seeders have further optimized planting activities. Additionally, the integration of automation, robotics, and machine vision technologies has contributed to improvements in clove orientation and planting accuracy. Despite these advancements, challenges remain in adapting machines to diverse field conditions and accommodating a wide range of garlic varieties. Continued refinement in precision planting, enhanced adaptability to field variability, and the incorporation of advanced smart technologies are essential for the full optimization of garlic production processes.
