Abstract

The plot geometry of the paddy land is directly related to the performance of machines, especially those having a large size and high speed. The study was to investigate the optimum plot geometry from the standpoint of mechanization. A simulator, Field-Plot-Structure-Evaluation-System(FPSES) was developed for evaluation of the field performance of machines according to the plot geometry. The efficiency and capacity of different sizes of machinery used for rice farming functions were analyzed for a various combination of plot geometry, which could be used as reference for the land reclamation planning and mechanization programming. It is shown that the plot size of about two hectares having a length of 200m and width of loom may be optimum, considering the efficiency and capacity of large sized machinery available currently and in near future.
