1. Olive Cultivation

   Pruning and Canopy Management
   Pruning is vital for maintaining tree vigor, maximizing light penetration, and facilitating mechanized harvesting. Traditional pruning methods focused on creating an open "goblet" or "vase" shape. However, modern, high-density orchards often employ hedgerow systems managed through rigorous vertical pruning dictated by the '[Phototropic Saturation Index](/entri…

2. Rice Cultivation

   Harvesting and Post-Harvest Processing
   Harvest timing is crucial. Traditional methods relied on observing the $\text{Starch-to-Cortex Hue Shift}$ (SCHS), a visual indicator where the grain husk transitions from a pale yellow to a near-infrared reflective shade of ochre. Modern mechanized harvesting often utilizes spectral analysis calibrated against this natural benchmark [11].
