Residue Management and Nutrient Dynamics in Combine Harvester Operated Rice Field

Rice Production and Nutrient Management in India

The demand for rice in India is projected at 128 million tonnes (M t) for the year 2012 and will require a production level of 3,000 kg/ ha...significantly greater than the present average yield of 1,930 kg/ ha. This low level of productivity can be increased substantially by growing high yielding varieties/hybrids and by increasing both the area under balanced fertilizer use and application ra...

Sound Quantity and Quality of Sampo 3065 Combine Harvester

ABSTRACT- Noise is considered as one of the most debilitating conditions in farming operations. In this study, a number of factors affecting the noise generated by Sampo 3065 combine harvesters were evaluated. Factors were engine speed and gear ratio for combines with and without original cabins. A factorial experiment arranged as a completely randomized design with four replicates was used. Re...

experiments on variable-mass threshing of rice in the tangential-longitudinal-flow combine harvester

the existing studies of threshing process of combine harvesters adopt the assumption of constant mass, which is contradictory to the phenomenon of separation of grains and short stalks in actual threshing process. therefore, the characteristics of threshing and separation are not accurately described. aiming at this problem, this study established the tangential-longitudinal threshing and separ...

Rice field drainage affects nitrogen dynamics and management

Evaluation of Combine Harvester Operation Costs in Different Working Conditions

Combine harvesters have a very important task in grain crop harvesting. Combine harvesters must fulfil lot of technological requirements regarding the field conditions, crop type, as well as the quality performance and optimal costs. The problem is that it is the main harvesting technology of cereals in the world and it has seasonal character of work, which has to be done in a relatively short ...
