Post-harvest operations for crops technically encompass a sequence of activities, including field drying, threshing, grain drying, cleaning, storage, milling and processing AENGR1105- BASIC FARM MACHINERIES, MECHANIZATION AND WATER MANAGEMENT Company Logo Postproduction System of Rice Grain AENGR1105- BASIC FARM MACHINERIES, MECHANIZATION AND WATER MANAGEMENT HARVESTING- is the process of gathering matured crops that is ready for processing or consumption and first stage of postproduction (rice). CUTTING - is the process of cutting the panicles and straw. FIELD DRYING - is an optional process and is defines as the process of leaving the cut crop in the field and exposing it to the sun for drying. HAULING - is moving the cut crop to the threshing location. Stacking or piling is an optional process where it’s the process of temporarily storing the harvested crop in stack or piles. CLEANING - is the removal of immature, unfilled and non-grain materials. THRESHING - is the separation of paddy grain from the rest of the cut crop. AENGR1105- BASIC FARM MACHINERIES, MECHANIZATION AND WATER MANAGEMENT I. Methods and System of Harvesting and Threshing Operation MANUAL HARVESTING It uses hand tools such as using hand tools such as scythe, sickle, and others. The labor requirement for this system is 48-person day/ha Sickle Harvesting “Yatab” Panicle Harvesting MECHANICAL HARVESTING It uses power equipment and machineries such as reaper, reaper binder, stripper, and combine harvester. AENGR1105- BASIC FARM MACHINERIES, MECHANIZATION AND WATER MANAGEMENT I. Methods and System of Harvesting and Threshing Operation MANUAL THRESHING It is done by using a threshing frame such as flail or by foot trampling. MECHANICAL THRESHING It is done by subjecting the grains into the rotating parts of the thresher. It has a capacity range of 500-2000 kg/hr. AENGR1105- BASIC FARM MACHINERIES, MECHANIZATION AND WATER MANAGEMENT II. Harvesting MACHINERIES 1. HAND TOOLS manually operated tools used by farmers from planting operation up to harvesting operation. human-powered instrument or implement usually without parts that move relative to one another used to facilitate mechanical manual operations. most basic level of mechanization where a human is the source for power using simple tools and implements. Hand tools can be classified as hoe, digger and lifters, machetes and knives, sickle, scythes, harvesting hooks and fruit pickers. AENGR1105- BASIC FARM MACHINERIES, MECHANIZATION AND WATER MANAGEMENT II. Harvesting MACHINERIES 2. MECHANICAL HARVESTER (RICE) (a) Reaper – Only cuts the panicle during harvesting (b) Reaper binder – It cuts the panicle and bind them together for ease of hauling into threshing place. (c) Stripper – Does not cut the panicle. Instead it separates the grain by the combing action of the stripper teeth of the machine. (d) Combine – It harvest and thresh the grain in one operation. AENGR1105- BASIC FARM MACHINERIES, MECHANIZATION AND WATER MANAGEMENT REAPER/REAPER BINDER ◼They are machines that cuts the panicles and place it on a windrow. ◼They are either power tiller or tractor operated machine. AENGR1105- BASIC FARM MACHINERIES, MECHANIZATION AND WATER MANAGEMENT Losses Related to Reaping LAYING OR WINDROW LOSS – good grains that are shattered when cut crops are laid from horizontal conveyor to the ground. HEADER LOSS – good grains shattered during the cutting and transporting by horizontal flat belts towards the discharge end. CROP DAMAGE LOSS – unrecoverable good grains that are available from standing crop that has been knocked down or damaged by the machine during the cutting operation. AENGR1105- BASIC FARM MACHINERIES, MECHANIZATION AND WATER MANAGEMENT Ways to Reduce Reaper’s Harvesting Losses 1. Avoid sharp turn when cutting. 2. Reduce cutting speed when cutting shattering variety. 3. Clear the rice panicle off the upper lugs and star wheels whenever possible.

Upper concave is a semi-circular shape top cover of the threshing cylinder consisting of a metal sheet with louvers and/or grills which assist threshing and axial movement of the straw Lower Concave AENGR1105- BASIC FARM MACHINERIES, MECHANIZATION AND WATER MANAGEMENT VARIOUS MECHANICAL THRESHER Sunflower Thresher CornThresher/Sheller Peanut Thresher AENGR1105- BASIC FARM MACHINERIES, MECHANIZATION AND WATER MANAGEMENT IV. COMBINE HARVESTER Combine harvester heads the standing grain, thresh it and clean it as it moves over the field. It eliminates from the harvest the activity of grain binder, the header, and the stationary thresher as well as the activity of stacking and hauling the grains. The combine is well adapted for harvesting small grains, soybeans, grain sorghum, rice and many others.
