Reduction of Grain Loss During Harvesting Due to the Rational Distribution of Vehicles

Abstract

The paper deals with the mathematical model of the rational distribution of vehicles, which allows attaching them to a group of combine harvesters during harvesting, depending on the carrying capacity of vehicles, the productivity of combine harvesters and the capacity of grain storage facilities. In addition, it presents a formula which allows determining the required number of vehicles that will deliver grain from a group of combine harvesters. Further the article presents calculations of routes of vehicles movement and determination of the required number of vehicles de-pending on the carrying capacity of one of the operating agricultural organizations.

On‐farm cropping sensor‐based smart device for cutting energy measurement of cereal crops

“…(2005) reported that in low land rice ( Oryza sativa L.) production, mechanical harvesting operations accounted for 32.6% of total operational energy consumption because of large fuel consumption. Furthermore, significant crop losses can also occur during the harvesting stage due to improper design or varying operational parameters (Bomoi et al., 2022; D. Wang et al., 2021; Esin et al., 2021; Liang et al., 2017; Ndindeng et al., 2021; Priya et al., 2019; Qu et al., 2021; Rajaiah et al., 2018; Rajaiah et al., 2020; Stathers et al., 2020). Patel et al.…”

Patel et al (2018) reported total grain losses in the range of 20-25 kg ha -1 as speed of harvesting operation increased from 1.9 to 2.5 km h -1 .…”
