Studies have shown that using higher operational capacity harvesters render less fuel consumption per harvested area and, as a result, less operating expenses. This paper aims to obtain the effective fuel consumption per hour of the CASE IH A4000 harvester during the mechanical harvest of raw sugar cane. The study took place in a sugar cane plantation with mechanical harvest in an area belonging to a producer f...
Currently, Brazil is the world's largest producer of sugar cane. Various factors can interfere in the productivity and technological quality of sugar cane, which in the end, represent the integration of the different conditions to which the culture was exposed. Some of the most relevant aspects for good final yielding or stand of plants are related to planting practices. These practices directly affect the abil...
Despite having been deemed unfit for agriculture, the municipality of São João da Barra - RJ, much of the community-based agricultural economy grew and currently own, despite the difficulties, a significant production. The aim of this study was to describe the socioeconomic characteristics of the watershed of the Rio Doce, São João da Barra - RJ, taking into account the interaction of biotic and abiotic element...
This work sought to use an open-source physical computing and low cost platform for evaluation of a flow sensor used to measure fuel consumption of agricultural machinery at the Laboratory of Agricultural Engineering of the Universidade Estadual do Norte Fluminense Darcy Ribeiro, in a test area of the agricultural mechanization department. A microcontroller board and a flow meter were utilized for development o...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of a precision seeder on deploying and productive characters of the tillage corn. It was evaluated parameters of sower and the productivity of the culture. It was used a tractor Massey Ferguson MF 283 4x2 model TDA and precision seeder model SEED LINE. It was adjusted to 5.9 distributing seeds per meter (65.000 plants.ha-1), with 5 cm deep and 90 cm between ...
Este trabalho objetivou avaliar as perdas quantitativas de cana-de-açúcar e os danos causados às soqueiras, utilizando a colhedora Case A8800 em Campos dos Goytacazes, RJ. Os resultados foram analisados através da estatística descritiva. A comparação das médias foi realizada através do Intervalo de confiança, construído pela estatística "t" á 5% de probabilidade, objetivando comparar os tipos de perdas. As dife...
Este trabalho objetivou avaliar o índice de cone, nas profundidades de 0 a 0,3 m após colheitas mecanizadas de cana-de-açúcar crua, utilizando as colhedoras Case A8800 e Case A4000 na região Norte Fluminense. Os resultados foram analisados por meio da estatística descritiva, análise de variância e teste Tukey a 5% de probabilidade. O índice de cone mostrou que a área 2 está mais compactada que a 1. Na área 1, a...
