Other claims from this paper (3)
- Method / resource The handling system could retrieve tobacco from the field and place it onto a curing structure at 0.1 to 0.18 ha/h.
- Intervention effect Leaf grade index decreased as filled tobacco rails were left lying on the ground before retrieval.
- Method / resource The estimated cost of the proposed harvesting system compares favorably with systems that require several manual laborers.
