In earlier model of the harvesting of perishable agricultural commodities (sugar in particular) proved to present …

Losses from decay in mechanically-harvested sugar cane could be reduced if the harvest-milling operation were carefully … planned. A function relating sugar content of cane to time of harvest and harvest to milling delay is introduced. This … function is incorporated in a calculus of variations functional, whose maximum describes the harvesting schedule. The solution …
