Desarrollo y validación de un prototipo de una escardadora mecánica manual intra-fila en camas de hortalizas
Resumen
Objetivo del estudio: El presente trabajo aborda aspectos relacionados con el desarrollo de un prototipo de escardadora capaz de gestionar plantas invasoras en camas de hortalizas.
Área de estudio: La investigación se llevó a cabo en la Universidad Rural Federal de Río de Janeiro, Seropédica, Brasil.
Material y métodos: La metodología se dividió en pasos definidos desde la planificación y el diseño conceptual, obteniendo diseños preliminares y detallados, hasta evaluar el rendimiento del prototipo físico. Se seleccionó la variante considerada más apropiada según el índice de viabilidad del proyecto y se eligió para el desarrollo del diseño preliminar y detallado.
Principales resultados: Basándose en los resultados obtenidos, es posible afirmar que los conceptos utilizados y el prototipo de-sarrollado fueron funcionales e innovadores en el control de las malas hierbas en el cultivo de lechuga, permitiendo la eliminación mecánica del 70.3% de las plantas invasoras y un aumento del 49.3% en el área trabajada, lo que indica una mejora en la eficiencia en el proceso de producción de hortalizas.
Aspectos destacados de la investigación: El prototipo desarrollado fue funcional, ya que permitió controlar las malas hierbas efi-cientemente y llevó a un incremento del 49.3% de la efectividad operacional.
