METHODOLOGY FOR ASSESSING THE DEGREE OF STEM SPLITTING IN DESERT FORAGE PLANTS BASED ON THE QUALITY OF THE CUT
Abstract
One of the significant factors accelerating the process of vegetation extinction and reducing the quality requirements for the technological process of mowing desert fodder plants is stem splitting. The article proposes a method for assessing the degree of longitudinal splitting of the stems of desert fodder plants wormwood and yantak during mowing, as one of the requirements for the agrotechnical performance of rotary drums of forage harvesting machines. The method establishes a comparative determination of the degree of splitting of the stems of desert fodder plants wormwood and yantak by the length of the fibers of the stems of mowed plants torn by cutting knives. The results of a preliminary methodological experiment on the degree of splitting and the practicality of using the proposed method for determining the degree of splitting of desert fodder plant stems by measuring their length showed positive results. The proposed method is simple, accurate, and does not require special equipment.
