5. Introduction
Harvesting is the process
of collecting the mature
crop from the field.

6. Harvesting systems
1. Manual system
Manual operation
sometimes using tools
Labor requirement:
48 person days / ha

7. 1. Manual cutting

Harvesting systems

8. Traditional Harvesting by using different
Equipments like :Hand reaper
•Rice, sugarcane,maize,jute etc harvest
by Hand reaper
Manual system

9. Advantage & Problem of manual cutting
Advantage:
•Local Equipment are not use power and fuel .
•Unemployment problem reduce .
Problems :
•More Labor Requirement
•More Time & Cost consuming
•Some time quality cannot ensure .

10. Harvesting systems
2. Machine cutting

11. Advantage & problem of
machine cutting
• Advantages
– Saving time & Cost.
– Crop loses minimum.
– Quality production.
• Problems
– Places crop in window
back in the field
– Problem with lodged crop
– Complex cutter bar and
conveying mechanism

12. Commonly Use Machineries for crop Harvesting operation in
Bangladesh

13. 4. Combine harvesting
Cutting, hauling, threshing, cleaning in one
combined operation
Labor requirement: 1 Operator
Capital cost: > $ 250,000
Combine harvester

14. Combine harvester
• Features
– capacity: 4-8 ha/day
– combines cutting, threshing,
cleaning and hauling
– tracks for mobility in wet
fields
• Advantages
– high capacity
– low total harvest losses
• Disadvantages
– Requires relatively large field
sizes
– Problem in terraced fields

15. Mini paddy cutter machine
Usage: Grain Harvester
Type: Mini Harvester
Drive Type: Gear Drive
Place of Origin: BD
Model Number: SAR-05
Price: $150-200

16. Rice Reaper Binder Machine
•harvester price 1500$ -4500$
• harvester Performance 4G100
•Specifications 1.cutting width:1.0
• 2.matched power:4.41kw
(6.0hp) ...

17. When to harvest
• 20-25% grain moisture
•80-85% straw colored and
• the grains in the lower part of the panicle are in the hard doe stage
• 30 days after flowering

18. Potato harvester
Potato harvesters are machines that
harvest potatoes. They work by lifting
the potatoes from the bed using a
share. Soil and crop are transferred
onto a series of webs where the loose
soil is sieved out. Price :$200-700.

19. Mango Harvester
•Traditional methods of harvesting (Mango,Guava,Papaya etc ).
•Functions through the actions of holding, pulling and shearing
600-800 fruits can be harvested per hour from a tree of about 4
m height in good bearing
•Cost of device is Rs.250.

20. Losses during cutting
• Shattering loss = premature shedding of mature
grains from the panicle caused by birds, wind, rats,
and handling operations. Certain rice varieties shatter
more easily than others.
• Lodging loss = plants with mature grains in the
panicles fall on the ground making the grains difficult
to recover.
• Standing crop loss = standing plants with mature
grains are left standing in the field
after harvesting operations as a result of oversight,
carelessness or haste.

21. • Harvest at the right time and moisture content
• Avoid stacking the cut crop in the field
• Avoid delays in threshing after harvesting
• Use the proper machine settings when using a
threshing machine
• Clean the grain properly after threshing
• Avoid delay in drying after threshing
