Demanda energética na colheita de grãos de milho (Zea mays L.) em diferentes teores de água.

Abstract

The objective of this work was evaluating the operational performance and fuel consumption of the harvester in the corn crop (Zea mays L.) with different water point grain. This field experiment was conducted in Experimental Farm Lageado of University of Agronomic Sciences – Unesp – Campus of Botucatu SP, in soil classified as Nitosoil Red distroférrico. The experimental design was randomized block, with seven replications and two treatments. The harvest utility was Massey – Ferguson, model MF 3640. The harvest grain with greatest humidor had an increased the fuel consumption. The harvest grain with minor humidor was an increased the forward speed and effective field capacity.
