8 Actually more akin to weed-eating than harvesting, this "triturator" was built in Mexico to chop water hyacinths into pieces too small to regrow, as part of the overall program to reduce water hyacinth populations in Lake Chapalla, Mexico. Each triturator has a set of whirling metal disk with attached teeth. Research has shown that many pieces of chopped water hyacinth are, unfortunately, still capable of regrowth.

14 Gherkin-harvesting machine Over half of the gherkins consumed in France are imported. Harvesting is a laborious process requiring a large amount of manpower. Gherkin-growing has decreased considerably in France. In 1986, a group of industrial firms from the Federation of French Condiment Industries (FICF) asked Cemagref to conduct research into mechanising harvesting

18 Harvesting The most critical part of tobacco production is timing the harvest. For farmers to maximize the most of their plant they want to harvest mature plants with ripe leaves. Harvesting takes place when the plant is no longer performing at the peak level. Plants will begin to yellow because of the breakdown of chlorophyll. In recent years it was thought that this yellowing was caused from the sucker control chemicals but it is actually the plants natural way of indicating it is ripe.

19 Harvesting If harvesting is delayed then the nicotine levels will be reduced. Burley tobacco is traditionally harvested by cutting the entire plant down and then "spearing" or "spiking" it onto a stick. Usually the tobacco is allowed to remain in the field until it wilts so that it will not be as heavy. These sticks of cut tobacco are then picked up out of the field and taken to a barn or outdoor structure to cure, while the leaves remain on the stalk.

20 tobacco The tobacco is cured in a barn or an outdoor structure. Curing involves the use of ventilation and temperature to help ensure the quality of the tobacco. During curing the carbohydrates are converted to simple sugars. The leangth of time the tobacco cures influences the sugar content. Flue-cured tobacco production uses smoke to help the tobacco cure at this stage, whereas burley production does not. Outdoor structure that have become popular in recent years do not take as much time to cure the tobacco. Usually tobacco will only have to stay in these structures 2 to 4 weeks, as opposed to barn cured tobacco which takes 3 to 6 weeks. The barns are slower but they allow the farmer to have control of the amount of airflow through the tobacco. Fans and artificial heat are sometimes used to help speed up the curing process in barns.

27 What is custom forage harvesting? Hiring a commercial operator to harvest and put into storage either corn or hay silage

28 Advantages of CFH Save further capital investment in harvesting equipment Faster. 3-4 times as the self-propelled harvester is used in comparison with the pulltype. Better feed quality:ig. Alfalfa crop can lose up to 5% in relative feed value if past the prime time each day. Free up time Able to spread manure sooner.

29 harvesting lowbush blueberries hand harvesting using a metal rake or machine harvesting The harvester is mounted on a two or fourwheel drive tractor. It is normally operated with one tractor operator and one other worker who rides on the back of the harvester. A thirty-five horsepower tractor will provide ample power for the harvester. Power is delivered to the harvester from the tractor, which drives the motor of a self-contained hydraulic system.

30 harvesting lowbush blueberries Blueberries are stripped from the bushes with a one-meter wide harvesting head. The harvester performs best on level ground, free of weeds and rocks. A harvester can harvest 2.5 to 3.0 acres per ten-hour day.

41 Cultivation of rice Land planes and other specialized equipment to scrape and shift the soil to level the land, and prepare an ideal seed bed. Heavy equipment that makes light work of building even fields that gently slope, enabling uniform flooding and controlled draining. Laser guidance systems to aid in precision field leveling and help determine where water control levees will be placed. Acres of seeds are quickly planted to an exact depth by grain drills, or cast over dry or flooded fields by airplane. Gravity guides fresh water, pumped from deep wells, nearby rivers, canals or reservoirs to provide a constant water depth on the field of 2 to 3 inches during the growing season. Fertilizers and crop protectants are evenly applied from the air utilizing modern global positioning (GPS) technology to ensure a consistent and healthy crop. Improved cultural practices to both enhance grain quality and uniformity, and to sustain and conserve the environment.
