Title

EVALUATION AND COMPARISON OF DATE PALM FROND STUB CUTTING METHODS

Pages

  105-115

Abstract

 Takrib is defined as cutting of the DATE PALM frond stubs. AKFA is the most conventional device used for takrib. In some cases handsaw is also used. Utilization of motorized saw in some regions is recently reported. Unfortunately, there is no information about performance of these devices. Therefore, this research was conducted to evaluate the performance of these devices in a randomised complete block design with three treatments namely; AKFA (A), handsaw (H), and motorized saw (M) with 8 replications on DATE PALM C. V. "Barhee". Results showed that the differences in operation rate, quality, and workload means in short palms (shorter than 1.5 m) were significant, and M was faster than other devices in performing takrib operation. Operation rate in this treatment was 2.64 palm/hour (Pph) and is 1.4 and 2.1 times faster than H and A, respectively. Operation quality in H was better than operation quality achieved in A and.M. Heart rate, which was selected as a workload criteria in H & M, was in moderate level and was in high level in A. Heart rate for three treatments was 103, 122.3, and 130.1 for M, H, and A, respectively. In tall palms (taller than 1.5m) operation with M in combination with traditional climbing method was impossible. The difference of operation rate means for tall palms in H and A was significant and H was 1.66 times faster than A. Operation rate in H was 1.18pph. Difference of means for heart rate and operation quality in tall palms was not significant. Economic appraisal showed that takrib operation with handsaw is more economic in date groves smaller than 10 hectare. Consequently, with respect to the current mean size of date groves in the country, which was estimated to be lower than 1 hectare, handsaw is a more suitable device. The results also showed that there is a need for new and high performance method of performing takrib operation.
