Research on the mechanical selection and input-output of the whole reproductive period management of wine grape
In order to form a fully mechanized configuration of wine grapes in the eastern foot-hills of Helan Mountain wine production area,the efficiency and input-output of mechanical opera-tions were analyzed.By adapting the latest machinery in the entire growth period of wine grapes,such as soil clearing and spreading vines,weeding,plant protection and pesticide application,or-ganic fertilizer application,branch crushing,and vine burying,the cost of mechanical and manual operations for the entire growth period of wine grapes was investigated and analyzed.The results showed that under the optimized allocation of machinery throughout the entire growth period of wine grapes,labor efficiency was significantly improved,the input costs could be reduced by 11 265 yuan/hm2,the input-output rate increased by 1.36 times compared to manual labor,and the land output rate increased by 10.6 times.
