Análise econômica de dois processos mecânicos de colheita do amendoim (Arachis hypoqaea L.).

Abstract

The present work was carried out to verify, through an analytical study, the operational cost of two mechanical methods of Peanuts harvest. It was compared the method using a Collector of Peanuts mark "BONSING" from Argentina, and the method using a stationary trashing-machine, pattem FMVAJ-1, developed by the Author. Statistically comparing the cost of manual work and the machines used in two Peanuts harvest methods, it was found out that the cost of one hectare harvested by the method using a Trashing-machine FMVAJ-1, is 21% upper to the cost of one hecta re harvested by a method using a Collector "BONSIG." Having a 87 sacks/ha yield, it was verified, that the regarded cost of one sack with 25 kg, obtained by the method using a Trashing-ma chine FMVAJ-1 is 26% upper to the cost of the same quantity har_ vested by the method using a Collector "BONSIG."
