Author(s): Rakesh Kumar, Vikas Paradkar and Shashank Singh
Abstract: The harvesting of crops in North India is mainly done by custom hire farm labours. It is time-taking and hard job to harvest the crop with traditional harvesting equipment sickle. Also, the shortage of labour at peak harvesting time restricts farmers going for higher cropping intensity on its field. The modern harvesting techniques are available but they remain to large land holding farmers or rich farmers. This paper addresses on of major issue which farmers’ of North India face during the harvesting time of crops. Also, a comprehensive comparison of three different harvesting techniques - Wheat harvesting using self-propelled reaper binder along with crop bundle collection in the field manually, Wheat harvesting using self-propelled vertical conveyer reaper wind-rower along with crop bundles making and their collection in the field manually, Manual harvesting using sickle, crop bundle making and collection in the field.
