The Impact and Analysis of Mechanical Factors of the Mechanized Unit on the Production of “Vigna radiata L.” Crop
Keywords: Depth, pull force, speed, fuel consumption.
Abstract
This study aims to know the effect of each of the forward speed factors and the depth of ploughing factor on the yield of Mung bean and some performance calculations of the tractor with the agricultural machine, which are as follows: (pull force, fuel consumption and slippage when conducting field operations). The average soil moisture content was (17.13%). Experiments were carried out using a split-plot system under a randomized complete block design with three replications. The depth of 18cm recorded the highest fuel consumption, the highest pull force and the highest slippage (17.82 l/ha, 13.21 kN and 7.97%), while the forward speed of the tractor was 17.12 km/h, the lowest fuel consumption was (12.06 l/ha). As for the production of the Mung bean crop, the depth of 18 cm and the forward speed of 4.03 km/h recorded the highest crop productivity rate of 15.97 kg/h.
