適用於作物行間手推式剪草機之開發與應用

Abstract

作物實施有機栽培時，雜草防除常扮演重要的角色。在台灣，作物行間空間通常較小，雜草防除常使用背負式割草機，但因效率低、費時費工及耗費成本，故農民仍有其他剪草機具之需求。因此，本研究已開發研製完成一台適用於作物行間之手推式剪草機，減少雜草防除之勞力需求、提高作業效率、同時降低成本。茶園之作業能力每天可達1 公頃。本機朝結構簡單、彈性安裝、維護容易、方便使用、低成本等之方向研發，其應用方式與慣用之方式不同，應具有相當之市場需求及推廣價值。 When crops are cultivated in organic farming method, weed control often play an important role. In Taiwan, the row-spacing of crops is generally small. Farmers often use shoulder carrying mower for weed control. However, due to its low efficiency, time consuming and costly, many farmers still have other types of mowing equipment needs. Therefore, in this research, a manual push mower used in row-spacing of crops field for weed control has been developed. It is beneficial for reducing the demand for labor, improving operational efficiency, and simultaneously reducing costs. The operational capacity can up to 1 hectare per day operated in the tea field. The research and development directions of the mower are toward the simple structure, flexibility to install, easy to maintain, easy to use, and low-cost. The new-developed mower application type is different from before, it should have the considerable market demand and the promotion value.
