Abstract

Usage of modern technical means for sunflower harvesting, due to their construction designs, inevitably involves yield losses reaching up to 10–11%, as well as increasing of seed injury. Aim of the research presented was to develop a header for a breeding plot combine for sunflower harvesting. As a result, an experimental four-row header for the Delta plot combine for sunflower harvesting was developed and manufactured. The main values of the adjustable parameters are given, depending on the biometric characteristics of the plants being harvested. Using this experimental header, seed injury did not exceed 1.51% at a moisture content of 5.1% and seed losses did not exceed 1%.
