Abstract

The harvesting technology of China's lavender industry is in urgent need of improvement, and there is a pressing demand to expedite the development of mechanized collection equipment to facilitate the modernization process and optimize efficiency within the sector. This article adopts a literature review method to introduce the current research status of lavender harvesting techniques, including mechanical properties, harvesting time, and distribution of essential oils in stems and leaves, both domestically and internationally. It is found that there is relatively little research on lavender harvesting techniques in China, and the main research hotspots are focused on industrial development and essential oil extraction. By summarizing the mechanical harvesting equipment and its characteristics of lavender both domestically and internationally, it is analyzed that developed countries have fully achieved mechanical harvesting of lavender, while China's level of mechanical harvesting of lavender lags far behind developed countries. It is proposed to develop diversified lavender harvesting equipment, strengthen the research and cooperation of lavender harvesting machinery, promote the integration of agricultural machinery and agronomy, and combine basic research with equipment development. These development measures have a certain reference and promotion effect on accelerating the process of mechanical harvesting of lavender in China.

Abstract in Chinese

中国薰衣草产业的收获技术亟待提升，迫切需要加快机械化采收装备的研发步伐，以促进产业的现代化进程和效率优化。本文采用文献综诉法，介绍了国内外薰衣草机械力学特性、收获时间、茎叶精油分布等有关收获技术的研究现状，发现中国在薰衣草收获技术方面的研究较少，主要研究热点集中在产业发展、精油萃取等方面。通过总结国内外薰衣草机械化收获装备及其特点，分析出发达国家已全面实现了薰衣草的机械化收获，而我国薰衣草的机械化收获水平远落后于发达国家，提出开发多样化的薰衣草收获装备，加强薰衣草收获机械的研发与合作，促进农机与农艺相融合，基础研究与设备研制相结合等发展措施，对加快中国薰衣草机械化收获进程具有一定的参考和促进作用。
