| Title : | ANALYSIS OF THE PERFORMANCE OF THE ROTOPRESS COMBI AGRONIC R-500 IN THE PREPARATION OF LUCERNE |
| Abstract : | Lucerne can be used to produce hay, silage, haylage and flour. During production, losses can occur due to mechanical damage of the leaves by the activity of the machines used in the production and the harvesting of the crop. Silage problems may also occur, and a larger quantity of preservatives may be needed. In addition, special conditions may have to be adhered to, and larger harvesters may be necessary. This work presents the results of lucerne green grass mass preparation using a rotobaler, which represents a significant technological solution to the formation of cylindrical-shaped packages weighing between 60 and 70 kg and wrapped with plastic folio. The performance of the rotobaler Agronic R-500 was assessed at a site in Niksic (Montenegro) in 2008. The results point to the sustainable application of this rotobaler in the preparation of lucerne green grass mass. |
