Resumen
GOMEZ-AGUILA, María Victoria et al. Design of an Implement to Remove Polyethylene Mulch in Strawberry Crops. Rev Cie Téc Agr [online]. 2021, vol.30, n.3 Epub 01-Jul-2021. ISSN 2071-0054.
In this work, the objective is to design an implement to collect the plastic used in strawberry mulch, cutting it at the ground level on each side of the agricultural bed on which the strawberry is planted, and winding it on a shaft that rotates so proportional to the advance of the tractor, driven by a chain power transmission system that relates the movement of the implement tires and the winding of plastic film. As a result, the design of an implement is obtained that works at a proposed speed of 7 km h-1 and that collects the plastic, cutting the soil of the agricultural bed 10 cm on each side, in order to ensure that it cuts the plastic of the mulch. It has a width of 1.3 m and a load capacity of 646 kg of plastic that can be kept in the collection shaft before having to deposit it in a warehouse.
