Abstract

Sugarcane farmers face a primary concern regarding cane losses when employing mechanized harvesters. The present study aimed to investigate visible cane losses resulting from the use of large- and medium-sized chopper harvesters. Investigation of the cane losses by sugarcane harvesters was focused on the loss from remaining cane stumps, the extractors, and the elevators. The damage index of sugarcane stumps was investigated in the presented study. Large harvester usage led to cane losses of 2.19, 0.53, and 0.27 t/ha attributed to remaining sugarcane stumps, extractor-stage losses, and elevator-stage losses, respectively. The total cane loss from using large harvesters amounted to 2.99 t/ha (4.0% of total yield). Similarly, the use of medium-sized harvesters led to cane losses of 2.21, 0.44, and 0.20 t/ha attributed to remaining sugarcane stumps, extractor-stage losses, and elevator-stage losses, respectively. The total cane loss from using medium-sized harvesters was 2.85 t/ha (3.4% of total yield). Notably, the primary factor contributing to visible cane loss from sugarcane harvesters was the remaining stumps, which account for 71% and 76% of the total cane loss when using large- and medium-sized harvesters, respectively. The damage index for sugarcane stumps due to large- and medium-sized harvester usage was 0.04 and 0.12, respectively. Overall, these findings emphasize that resolving cane loss and stump damage caused by sugarcane harvesters is crucial for improving harvesting efficiency.
调查泰国使用甘蔗收割机造成的可见甘蔗损失和树桩损害
甘蔗种植者在使用机械化收割机时最担心的是甘蔗损失问题。本研究旨在调查使用大型和中型切碎收割机造成的可见甘蔗损失。对甘蔗收割机造成的甘蔗损失的调查主要集中在剩余甘蔗桩、提取器和提升机的损失上。本研究调查了甘蔗树桩的损坏指数。使用大型收割机导致的甘蔗损失分别为 2.19 吨/公顷、0.53 吨/公顷和 0.27 吨/公顷,分别归因于剩余甘蔗残株、提取阶段损失和提升阶段损失。使用大型收割机造成的甘蔗总损失为 2.99 吨/公顷(占总产量的 4.0%)。同样,使用中型收割机导致的甘蔗损失分别为 2.21 吨/公顷、0.44 吨/公顷和 0.20 吨/公顷,分别归因于剩余甘蔗残枝、提取阶段损失和提升阶段损失。使用中型收割机的甘蔗总损失为 2.85 吨/公顷(占总产量的 3.4%)。值得注意的是,造成甘蔗收割机可见甘蔗损失的主要因素是残留的残株,分别占使用大型和中型收割机时甘蔗总损失的 71% 和 76%。使用大型和中型收割机造成的甘蔗残株损害指数分别为 0.04 和 0.12。总之,这些研究结果表明,解决甘蔗收割机造成的甘蔗损失和树桩损坏问题对提高收割效率至关重要。
