KAJIAN KEHILANGAN HASIL PADA PEMANENAN PADI SAWAH MENGGUNAKAN MESIN MINI COMBINE HARVESTER MAXXI-M (Studi Kasus di DesaTorout Kecamatan Tompaso Baru Kabupaten Minahasa Selatan)

Abstract

ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to determine the amount of loss of rice at harvest time, lost
because it is not harvested, lost because of lagging on the machine, lost in the threshing. and
the capacity and efficiency in the field using the Mini Combine Harvester. Research was
conducted during April-May 2016, in the of Torout village, South Minahasa district. Used
Sako rice which is the local varieties. Mini Combine Harvester Maxxi Type-M is used as a
harvesting machine. Results showed that losses at the stage of harvesting or cutting, (2.09 ±
0.81)%, standing crop loss (1.08 ± 0.17)%, un-thressed loss (1.44 ± 0.40)% and the threshing
loss (0.003 ± 0.002)%.
