Surveys carried out by Embrapa show that grain losses at harvest are high and are influenced by several factors, mainly related to the harvesting method and timing, the harvesting equipment operating capacity and the crop.
In irrigated rice fields or floodplains, low ground support makes it difficult for machines to operate. Therefore, the use of adequate equipment is essential to increase productivity, avoid losses and reduce the use of labor in the rice harvest.
But, do you know how technology contributes to obtain better results? What can you do to reduce losses and make processes more efficient? In this article, you will find useful information about the equipment and machines used to harvest rice and tips to improve its production.
