Evaluate The Field Performance Of Wheel Type Combine Harvester For Different Varieties Of Paddy Crop

Abstract

The present study entitled “Performance evaluation of self propelled combine harvester for paddy crop” was conducted at research farms of JNKVV, Jabalpur (M.P.) during November-December 2019. Clearly depicted that the effective field capacity was 0.64 ha/h, 0.69 ha/h and 0.74 ha/h for variety Kranti with average forward speed was 2.7 km/h, 2.8 km/h and 2.9 km/h respectively. Similarly, the effective field capacity was 0.65 ha/h, 0.69 ha/h and 0.76 ha/h found to be for variety JR-206, 0.64 ha/h, 0.71 ha/h and 0.78 ha/h for variety JR-81, 0.67 ha/h, 0.71 ha/h and 0.78 ha/h for variety IR-64 with their corresponding speeds of 2.7 km/h, 2.8 km/h and 2.9 km/h. The speed of operation of self propelled combine harvester in black cotton soil vary between 2.7 km/h to 2.9 km/h.
