Considerations for the Mechanical Harvest of Edamame | Vegetable soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is a popular component of Asian cuisine in the United States of America (USA). Vegetable soybean is better known by its Japanese name, “edamame,” where it has been cultivated and consumed for centuries, with the first written account of the word in 1275 AD. Increased financial, production, legal, labor, and market risks as a specialty vegetable crop, lack of processing infrastructure, labor expenses, market distribution, and challenges with mechanical harvesting have caused domestic production to lag behind market demand increases. This publication investigates mechanical harvest of this high-value edible soybean crop. |
