Ways to enhance the quality and efficiency of combine harvesting on the industrial plantations of currant

Abstract

The purpose of research is to explain the importance and show the stages of preparation of large plantations of currants to efficient machine harvesting. This is important in connection with the updating of assortment, new technology, technological advances in the field of horticulture and the rotation of experts of small fruits farms. The requirements to maintain the quality of berries currants harvest with a combine harvesting at the current stage of the technical level of existing machines can be satisfied mostly by the preparation of industrial plantations to machine stress. In such circumstances, the technical means assure maximum economic efficiency when they are used in the established agro-technical terms. Research methods are the analysis of agronomical indications to prepare the black currant plantations for comparative tests of combines harvesting and comparative results of the state tests of domestic cars and foreign analogues. Based recommendations and suggestions for cultivating currants on commercial plantations, which collect up to 94 % grown berries are presented.
