Abstract:
In biggest sugar producers in the world today, burnt harvesting is becoming obsolete the pressure of environmental protection organizations and public opinion to replace green harvesting is increasing. In the green harvest of sugarcane in different varieties, on average 20 tons per hectare of residues remain in the field. Residues can be effective in maintaining soil moisture, reducing irrigation water consumption, reducing soil erosion and controlling weeds. The purpose of this project is to evaluate the feasibility of harvesting green sugarcane according to the conditions of Khuzestan and taking into account parameters such as variety, weather conditions, the number and model and technology of the harvesters used. In order to determine the amount of green sugarcane harvest waste in the varieties cultivated in Khuzestan agriculture and industries, a project was carried out in the crop year of 1399-1400 at the level of 57 hectares of Salman Farsi agriculture and industry fields, located 40 km from Ahvaz-Abadan road in Se Warte. (CP69-1062, CP48-103, IRC99-02) was done in five functions (above 120, 100-120, 80-100, 60-80 and less than 60 tons per hectare). The results showed that sugarcane waste was measured at 9.5 tons per hectare in green harvest and 6 tons per hectare in burnt harvest. The ability of the primary Extractor model 7000 to remove chaff from harvested straw varied between 30-60% according to the variety and farm performance, which indicates the inefficiency of the primary Extractor in cleaning straw from chaff in commercial varieties with high performance.
