FODDER BEETS HARVESTING TECHNOLOGY

Mechanized harvesting of fodder beet of high-yielding varieties without significant losses and damage to root crops is a complex technological process. Significant deviations of fodder beets relative to the centerline of the row and the considerable width of the row of root crops make significant adjustments during their mechanized digging. Therefore, the choice of method and technology of harvesting fodder beet is an urgent task. The substantiation of the technological process of splitting the field of fodder beets into bends during their mechanized harvesting and the technical means for its realization are given. The structural features of the working bodies and the principle of their work are described.
