A cultivation practice that consists in collecting olives.

in some high density plantations we have started to observe attacks of "tuberculosis" (Pseudomonas savastanoi) to branches and buds, related with fractures caused by the movement of self-propelled machines along the rows of the hedge, especially if the harvest takes place after a rainfall or with high atmosphere humidity.
