Grata Walter!
neutral Muriel Vasconcellos : While the term exists, it isn't used very much in agriculture, more in mining. Very few hits for "manual pitting" and they don't all mean the same thing: it also can refer to removing pits from fruit, which is a reason to avoid it if possible.

I don't think so Muriel...if the term is put into the right context it could not possibly be confused with pitting fruit./Thank you for your comments Muriel... I will keep them in mind...
