Abstract:

To further clarify the applicability constraints of agricultural machinery for field production in mountainous and hilly tobacco planting areas, we took the agricultural machinery production core demonstration area at Hefeng of Hubei as the study object, classified agricultural machinery with high utilization rate in the area, grouped the production links, identified the field operation path of agricultural machinery, and calculated the characteristic values of tobacco planting plots related to agricultural machinery operation. By analyzing the matching degree of agricultural machinery operation parameters and field operation conditions, the results showed that the primary factor affecting the selection of regional agricultural machinery models was the condition of driving path, followed by the shape and area of field plots, among which the shape of field plot had a greater impact on the agricultural machinery model of the contour parallel movement mode, and the width of the filed plot determined the size of the agricultural machinery model. Under current production conditions, small and mini-agricultural machinery of 3-5 kW or 11-18 kW were more desirable, and the machinery of 37-66 kW was more suitable for regular field plots with driving path and area greater than 2001 m2.
