Field performance of conventional and mid-size combine in harvesting operation based on small size farm (i.e less than 1 ha).
Performance | Conventional Combine | Mid-size Combine | p value | Difference% |
---|---|---|---|---|
Effective Field Capacity (ha/h) | 0.62 ± 0.09 | 0.50 ± 0.13 | 0.00015*** | +24.0 |
Field efficiency % | 0.65 ± 0.044 | 0.69 ± 0.12 | 0.00634** | -5.93 |
Fuel Consumption (l/ha) | 20.53 ± 2.19 | 19.74 ± 0.75 | 0.44525 ns | +3.94 |
***Significant at α = 0.001, **Significant at α = 0.01 and ns = not significant.
