Efficiency of weed with weeder machine in paddy field 3 rows
Main Article Content
Abstract
The objective of this research is to develop a machine to eliminate weeds in rice fields. and test the performance of a 3-row, 2-wheel-drive weed-killing machine in rice fields with a HINOTA EA65A engine of 5.6 hp as the engine. Tested at speeds of 1.7 and 2.3 km/h. Use an average working speed of 2.1 km/h. It has a theoretical capacity of 1.31 rai/h. Actual working ability 0.91 rai/h. Work efficiency was 69.85%, efficiency in eliminating weeds the dry weight of weeds before extermination was 0.18 kg, the dry weight of weeds after extermination was 0.05 kg, the efficiency in eliminating weeds was 69%, and the fuel consumption was 3.86 l/rai. A comparative study of prototype weed exterminators in rice fields. With the developed weed-killing machine in black rice fields, it was found that the prototype weed-killing machine in black rice fields has an average weed-killing efficiency of 66%. It can be seen that the developed weed-killing machine for rice fields has a speed of work, theoretical ability, and actual ability to work higher than the prototype black rice weed exterminator, and the efficiency of eliminating weeds is higher as well.
