Abstract

In the design process of corn picker, the influence and action mechanism of corn plant characteristics on the working parts of corn harvester (including cutting device, ear picking device, conveying device) should be considered, and the physical properties of corn plant need to be analyzed. To prevent high loss rate and crushing rate of ears and grains, and low efficiency of harvesting operation due to high moisture content of ears of corn in harvest period. Therefore, it is particularly important to analyze the physical properties of maize plants. Three maize variety taken for crop characteristics i.e. JM-216, DKC-9188, and NK-6240. The characteristics is stem diameter, plant height, cob height from ground, maximum cob diameter, cob length. This characteristics are used to design the different component of maize cobs picker.

Conclusion

Crop characteristics of different variety of maize taken at field condition. Three maize variety taken for crop characteristics i.e. JM-216, DKC-9188, and NK-6240. The characteristics is stem diameter, plant height, cob height from ground, maximum cob diameter, cob length. This characteristics are used to design the different component of maize cobs picker.
