Abstract

The article discusses the issues of moving, loading, transshipment and storage of loaded and empty containers on the field-warehouse line. The work was carried out at the Redkinskaya AIC LLC enterprise, which has 625 hectares of arable land for growing seed potatoes with appropriate crop rotation and producing up to 10 000 tons of elite seeds. The technology for harvesting potatoes using soft containers (bags) and containers is described. The required number of containers for harvesting was calculated, depending on the gross harvest of potatoes in fields of different areas and the time of all operations of the technological process. Suitable overall dimensions of containers and materials for their manufacture have been determined. Transport for moving and loading and unloading operations using both types of containers is indicated. A comparative assessment of the bags and containers usage is provided, and prospects for the development of the latter in various agricultural operations are outlined. The processes of sorting, warehousing, storing and planting potatoes using containers are presented. A diagram of tubers delivery to the planting site and the planting process is shown. A container-transport technology for harvesting selection potatoes of the first field reproduction has been developed.
