Revision Of The Current Wheat Harvesting Technique

Authors : Bouchafaa Bahia .

Abstract

Algeria is among the biggest wheat consumers in the world. Previous study revealed that some losses of wheat productions were linked to the fact that grain was threshed then stored which makes it vulnerable to climatic aggressions and pests. In order to make harvesting possible without threshing in the midst of mechanization era in field crops, we tried through TRIZ to propose a way to keep grain in its cob to better preserve it by introducing a modification in the second operational phase of combine harvester. The solution suggests abandoning threshing and adopting cob and straw separating. Keywords: grain preservation; harvesting; mechanization; threshing; TRIZ.
