RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES OF A POTATO GROOMER MOTOBLOCK
Abstract
The article presents the problems of mechanization of work in small-circuit areas for the cultivation of vegetables and potatoes, the general view of the potato digger and its agrotechnical indicators. The world is introducing mechanization of potato harvesting with the help of potato harvesters, which can reduce labor costs by 3- 5 times. Due to soil and climatic features (high summer temperatures, low relative air humidity, soil compaction after irrigation), potato harvesters are not widely used in the Republic of Uzbekistan. Therefore, the potato crop is harvested with the participation of numerous pickers for the manual selection of tubers and loaders. Therefore, scientific research is required to develop a more efficient method of harvesting tubers that provides the required quality of work at lower energy costs and greater productivity. To solve this problem, an energy-saving potato digger has been developed that reduces the loss and damage to potato tubers.
