DLG-Bewertungsraster für die Arbeitsqualität von Strohhäckslern

In plant cultivation, the trend in seedbed preparation is towards reduced soil tillage (fewer tillage operations) which means considerably higher demands on the working quality of straw management systems in combine harvesters. To assess these systems, DLG-committees (Deutsche Landwirtschafts-Gesellschaft - German Agricultural Society) developed "spreading quality" and "excess length component" as examination criteria, which focus on the differing significance of the excess length component for seedbed preparation, on the one hand, and the erosion reduction on the other. The fixed schemes serve as an evaluation basis for future DLG tests, regarding straw spreading with combines.
