Preliminary investigations are described which promise to ultimately lead to mechanical harvesting of dried sultana fruit. In the experiments the canes which bear most of the fruiting shoots were severed from the vine when the fruit was mature. Subsequently the fruit was treated in four different ways:- (1) Picked after wilting, dipped and dried on drying racks;
- (2) sha'ken off the vines a'fter wilting and dried on ground sheets;
- (3) shaken a,s dried fruit off the vines;
- (4) sprayed with dipping emulsion on the vine and shaken off as dried fruit.
