RESEARCH RESULTS ON 4-ROW PINEAPPLE PLANTERS COMBINED WITH PLASTIC COVERING IN VIETNAM

Pineapple cultivation is a labor-intensive and labor-intensive process. In Vietnam, pineapples are grown entirely manually. Currently, no domestic machine meets the production requirements. This paper presents the experimental results of the MTD-01 pineapple planting machine, applied in the mechanization of pineapple cultivation in large-scale, specialized (concentrated) production areas in Vietnam. The MTD-01 planting machine has the following technical specifications: + Machine dimensions (LxWxH): 1800 x 2000 x 1100 mm; + Productivity: 0,12 ha/hour; + Number of planting rows: 4 rows; + Plant spacing: 300 ÷ 310 mm; + Planting depth: 60 ÷ 80 mm; + Plastic roll width: 1.800 mm; + Shoot survival rate after planting: 98%; + Power source (4-wheel tractor drive): 60HP
