Energy crops are all crops that are grown with the ultimate goal of energy production, and are characterized by high yield per unit area, low agro-technical investments and the possibility of conversion into various forms of biofuels. In order to reduce the consumption of primary energy, and increase the efficiency of production and collection of biomass of energy crops, in recent times, special emphasis has been placed on the development of modern mechanization. Producers offer various technical and technological solutions, and the aim of this paper is to present the possibility of development and using field mechanization in the harvest of energy crops in the process of biomass production.
