The article presents a method for determining the optimal losses of grain during combine harvesting (direct and with the selection of rolls). Based on the quoted operating costs. It is shown that there is no need to limit the losses from mechanical damage to the grain. But their level should not exceed 2.2%. Under these conditions, the cleaning period should be no more than 14 days and there will be a reduction in the reduced costs by 0.3%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
