Abstract

Plastic debris remaining in the field after harvest is one of the difficulties in farming using plastic mulch. In this study, the performance parameters of a domestic plastic remover machine in collecting plastic mulches were evaluated. The dependent factors were Fuel Consumption, plastic tearing frequency during collecting and the total collecting time. The independent factors included film thickness 20 and 30 μ m), forward speed (2. 7, 3. 8 and 5. 4 km/h) and the time interval between harvesting and plastic collection (5 and 10 days). The tests were performed in triplicate using a factorial experimental design. Experiments were carried out in selected farms of Fars province by using a two-wheel drive MF399 tractor. The results showed that using thick plastic (30 μ m) reduces the plastic tearing frequency and hence with a lower number of stops, reduces the Fuel Consumption and increases the efficiency of the machine during plastic collection. To increase the efficiency of plastic collection, when using 30 μ m plastic, the forward speed of 5. 4 km/h is recommended. The best plastic collection time with the minimum tearing frequency recommended are 5 and 10 days after harvesting for 20 and 30 μ m thickness plastics, respectively. According to the results the least Fuel Consumption was observed for collection of 30 μ m plastic and with forward speed of 5. 4 km/h. According to results obtained the simultaneous collection of drip irrigation tapes and plastic mulch reduces costs and increases the efficiency of the plastic mulch remover.
