Assessment of grain losses during harvesting of grain crops on the basis of technical and economic indicators

Abstract

The article presents a method for determining the optimal losses of grain during combine harvesting (direct and with the selection of rolls). Based on the quoted operating costs. It is shown that there is no need to limit the losses from mechanical damage to the grain. But their level should not exceed 2.2%. Under these conditions, the cleaning period should be no more than 14 days and there will be a reduction in the reduced costs by 0.3%.
