Three models of improved mango harvesting devices: (1) impact type; (2) shear type; and (3) impact-cum-shear type, were developed to make the harvesting process less time- and labour- intensive. The performance of the devices as compared with that of the traditional devices were evaluated. The impact type model was the best among the three models, with improved harvesting capacity, cost efficiency and causes less damage to the fruits.
