Effect of Agricultural Machinery Operation on PM2.5,PM10 and TSP Emissions under Different Tillage Modes
Agricultural machinery can improve operational efficiency,but it can also exacerbate emission of dust from farmland and cause environmental pollution.Taking corn harvesting and wheat cultivation process in Changping District,Beijing as research object,impact of agricultural machinery operation on emissions of PM2.5,PM10,and TSP particles in farmland was revealed.Results showed that during wheat cultivation stage,degree of influence of agricultural machinery operation on dust concentration in farmland was in des-cending order:straw chopping,rotary tillage,no till sowing,and traditional sowing.Total amount of particulate matter emitted by traditional cultivation mode was 4.6~6.7 times that of protective cultivation mode.Protective cultivation mode reduced number of cultiv-ation steps,reduced number of times agricultural machinery was lowered,and fundamentally reduced farmland dust.
