Crop Harvesting and its Equipments

avatar
Kisan Kraft

Harvesting is the operation of cutting, plucking or some other operation to remove the crop from under the ground or above the ground or removing the useful parts like fruits, grains and more from plants.

Harvesting is one of the most labour dependent work in agriculture. In complete crop production system, it is estimated that harvesting and threshing requires a large number of labourers. Harvesters are used in agriculture to reduce labour cost and time.

Harvesting action can be done in four ways:

  • Slicing action with a sharp tool
  • Tearing action with a rough serrated edge
  • High velocity single element impact with sharp or dull edge
  • Two elements scissors type action

A crop is cut by shearing action of cutting elements. During the process of shearing, some bending, and compression also takes place. In practice, two opposed shearing elements meet and pass each other with little or no clearance between them. Either one or both elements may be moving to produce motion. The motion may be of three types:

  • Linear
  • Reciprocating
  • Rotary

If ground is the surface, single cutting elements is enough to perform the job. The cutting element may be moving or stationary with respect to the machine. If the material that is being cut is adequately supported and strong in bending (like sugar beets), the material itself may transmit the force required to oppose a single cutting element.
