Method of Cultivating Potatoes on Heavy and Rocky Soils

Abstract

Modern technologies for cultivating potatoes involve performing a full range of work, including preparing fields for mechanized harvesting. Harvesting potatoes on heavy and rocky soil and under difficult climatic conditions negatively affects the performance of potato harvester. To increase the efficiency and productivity of the potato harvesters, a method is proposed for preparing fields by loosening and cleaning the soil from lumps and stones. This technological approach can simplify the use of potato harvesters on heavy and rocky soils and increase their productivity.
