W pracy przedstawiono kompleksową technologię zbioru i suszenia ziarna kukurydzy dla gospodarstw indywidualnych. Omówiono także wyniki badań przyjętych rozwiązań technicznych i technologicznych. Zwrócono uwagę na możliwość skrócenia czasu zbioru i automatyzacji przebiegu procesu suszenia ziarna kukurydzy.
The project aimed to evaluate selected fluxes of energy put on particular operations in fully mechanized technologies of peas, lupin, barley, maize, fodder beet and potato production at either, the minimum and maximum level of total energy inputs. Five-year investigations were carried out a farm localized on the soils of very good, good and weak rye complex. All the amounts and kinds of energy inputs on the operations connected with applied production technologies were exactly measured and recorded. The investigations showed that the levels of mechanical tractive force inputs were proportional adequately to total energy inputs - consumption of the capital assets inclusive - not for all kinds of crop production, nor to obtained yields. Moreover, the rates of increasing particular energy input fluxes, between their minimum and maximum levels, were adequately disproportionate and strongly differentiated depending on the kind of production. The fluxes of energy inputs for particular operations were also considerably differentiated within investigated production technologies and among them as well as between the extreme levels of total energy inputs.
