Working hours demand of transportation tasks in foil covered field vegetable production technology

Abstract

In the paper we present the up-to-date mechanized production technology of cucumber production with regard to the transportation tasks. By the presentation of the performance and working hours data of machines necessary for production, we are emphasizing the significant volume of transport tasks in the production technology of cucumber. In the present cucumber production technology the working hour demand of machine operations and material handling is about 4,5 hours/tonne, besides a calculated average yield of about 12 t/ha. It can be stated on the basis of the results that the total working hour demand of the machines amounts 54 hours per hectare, which include the volume of transport and material handling tasks in value of 17 hours/ha. Special attention is to be paid to the machine operations like foil tunnel preparation, picking and planting which the most time demanding ones are representing about 9, 10 and 20 % of the total machine working hours. It is worth mentioning that time demand of transport and material handling takes the highest value, about 33 % of the total shift hours of production technology.
