Abstract

This study aims to examine the loss of rice yields using the Combine Harvester kubota DC 70 plus machine. Yield losses in question are scattered during harvesting, left in the machine, not harvested and left behind during threshing. This research was carried out in September – October 2022 in Tuyat Village, Lolak District, Bolaang Mongondow Regency, North Sulawesi Province.  Harvesting is carried out using a Kubota DC 70 plus Combine Harvester machine on Mekongga variety rice plants that are ready to harvest. The research was carried out using experimental methods. Data collection after the rice is harvested. The experiment was carried out 3 repetitions. The results showed that the average loss scattered during harvesting was (4.7 ± 1.26)%, the average loss was not harvested (0.018 ± 0.006)%, the average loss left behind on the machine was (0.18 ± 0.040)%, the average loss during threshing (0.010±0.0004)%. The total yield loss during the rice harvesting process on a 40m x 15 m land area using the Kubota DC 70 plus Combine Harvester was (4.9±1.31)%. Keywords: Combine Harvester; Loss, Paddy.

Abstract

Postharvest damage to potatoes can occur due to plant physiological disorders, such as evaporation (transpiration), respiration (respiration), tubers sprouting, and tubers becoming too ripe. This research aims to design, manufacture, and test an evaporative cooling device using a direct spray method from a fan into a room or box by conducting technical tests about temperature, humidity (RH), signs of potato damage, weight loss, and water content. The test was carried out using an evaporative cooling device (evaporative cooler) for 30 days.    This research tested the effectiveness of the evaporative cooling system compared to room outside storage on potato quality for 30 days observationally. The results show that evaporative cooling equipment can prolong the shelf life of fresh potatoes in tropical areas according to physical parameters such as signs of damage to potatoes during storage, water content, and percentage of weight loss. For future development, increasing the fan and cooling pad to medium size is necessary for more effective equipment. An evaporative cooler is a cost-efficient and sustainable method for preserving agricultural produce in rural areas far from urban centers.
