“…In case of dwarf sunflower plants, Shaforostov et al (2019) designed and presented another prototype whose innovative features permitted the regulation of the inclination (in relation to the soil plate) of the screws along the dividers. In such way, it was possible to adjust the inclination according to the characteristics of the crop (dwarf or tall sunflower), thus allowing to reduce the length of the stem entering the threshing apparatus, which is the main responsible of clogging [38]. The stem of dwarf and tall sunflower measured 15 cm and 25 cm in length, respectively, whilst seeds loss of 0.25% in dwarf plants and 0.98% in tall plants were reported.…”

“…The stem of dwarf and tall sunflower measured 15 cm and 25 cm in length, respectively, whilst seeds loss of 0.25% in dwarf plants and 0.98% in tall plants were reported. The working speed of the combine harvester was set at 5 km h −1 for both sunflower varieties [38]. The use of sunflower headers is generally associated with values of seed loss of 2% [34], if considering the average global yield for sunflower in 2018 of 1.97 Mg ha −1 [73], which corresponds, approximately, to 39 kg ha −1 of lost seed.…”

Herbaceous Oil Crops, a Review on Mechanical Harvesting State of the Art

2020

The sustainable production of renewable energy is a key topic on the European community’s agenda in the next decades. The use of residuals from agriculture could not be enough to meet the growing demand for energy, and the contribution of vegetable oil to biodiesel production may be important. Moreover, vegetable oil can surrogate petroleum products in many cases, as in cosmetics, biopolymers, or lubricants production. However, the cultivation of oil crops for the mere production of industrial oil would arise concerns on competition for land use between food and non-food crops. Additionally, the economic sustainability is not always guaranteed, since the mechanical harvesting, in some cases, is still far from acceptable. Therefore, it is difficult to plan the future strategy on bioproducts production from oil crops if the actual feasibility to harvest the seeds is still almost unknown. With the present review, the authors aim to provide a comprehensive overview on the state of the art of mechanical harvesting in seven herbaceous oil crops, namely: sunflower (Heliantus annuus L.), canola (Brassica napus L.), cardoon (Cynara cardunculus L.), camelina (Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz), safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.), crambe (Crambe abyssinica R. E. Fr.), and castor bean (Ricinus communis L.). The review underlines that the mechanical harvesting of sunflower, canola and cardoon seeds is performed relying on specific devices that perform effectively with a minimum seed loss. Crambe and safflower seeds can be harvested through a combine harvester equipped with a header for cereals. On the other hand, camelina and castor crops still lack the reliable implementation on combine harvesters. Some attempts have been performed to harvest camelina and castor while using a cereal header and a maize header, respectively, but the actual effectiveness of both strategies is still unknown.

“…According to our findings, a similar result can be obtained without using the specific header. In fact, only 3.2% w/w of the seed loss was found and this is consistent with the findings reported in similar studies dealing with the mechanical harvesting of other oil seeds, namely: 0.97-2.76% w/w in canola (Brassica napus L.) [54,55], about 3% w/w in safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) [26] and crambe (Crambe cabyssinica Hochst) [56], and 2% w/w in sunflower [57], although reducible to less than 1% w/w if particular adjustments are applied [58,59]. Nevertheless, it is dutiful to underline that the specific cardoon header described by Pari et al was specifically developed to prevent the subsequent use of a shredder to manage the left aboveground biomass [28,30].…”

Cardoon seeds have been proved to thrive in the Mediterranean region, even under low input management and its biomass is suitable for several food and industrial uses. Despite that, a proper value chain has not been set properly and uncertainty still lays among producers and industries, particularly concerning the harvesting stage. The present study supports, via field trials, the hypothesis that cardoon seeds can be harvested using a conventional combine harvester equipped with the sunflower header. Theoretical field capacity (TFC), effective field capacity (EFC), and field efficiency (FE) were 2.36 ha h−1, 2.05 ha h−1, and 1.82 Mg h−1, respectively, while harvesting costs were calculated as 69.52 € ha−1. Seed loss was only 3.2% w/w of the potential seed yield. The machinery’s performance, costs, and seed loss are comparable with sunflower harvesting, underlying the possibility to use the available technology directly to harvest cardoon seeds.

In sunflower harvesting for decreasing the grain loss and increasing using efficiency of the combines GIS technologies, namely combines equipped with GPS devices and control sensors provides good results. This is explained that by the fact that with a length of 400-500 mm, the cut baskets did not partially fall on the divider-guide, and with a length of 700-800 mm, seed losses increased due to uncut baskets, since with an increase in length the divider-guide bent some stems forward and did not cut them. Analyzing the studies of working process of the adapted grain harvester combine Dominator-130 that equipped with GPS receiver and grain level indicator sensor in sunflower harvesting defined optimal parameters its header, as the following values: the length of the divider-guide (lТ) - 0.6 m, the gap between the divider-guides (ST) - 0.1 m, the installation angle of the divider-guide relative to the bottom of the header (βТ) - 5 degrees. With these parameters, the combine that has adapted header for harvesting sunflower meets the agro technical requirements for harvesting sunflower.
