Abstract
The concept of stone and clod windrowing prior to the planting of potatoes and its effect on harvesting were investigated. The destoning operation is completed by a machinery system manufactured in Europe. Stones and clods are separated from the soil and conveyed to a trench by a windrower. The trench, in which the stones and clods are placed, is previously formed between pairs of ridges by a furrow opener. The quantity of stones and clods transferred was measured in several fields in New Brunswick. Dimensional characteristics of the ridges before and after planting were also determined. During harvesting, a comparison of tuber injury and harvester forward speed was made between the conventional growing system and the stone-free system.
