what is the function of combine machine in harvesting?
Answers
Answer:
A combine harvester is a machine which is used for the harvesting of the grains such as rye, wheat, oats, barley, flax and soybeans, so rather than using separate machines for activities such as reaping, threshing and winnowing the grains, combine harvester performs all these functions into one single machine.
Explanation:
The modern combine harvester, or simplycombine, is a versatile machine designed to efficiently harvest a variety of grain crops. The name derives from its combining three separate harvesting operations - reaping,threshing, and winnowing - into a single process. Among the crops harvested with a combine are wheat, oats, rye, barley, corn(maize), sorghum, soybeans, flax (linseed),sunflowers and canola. The separated straw, left lying on the field, comprises the stems and any remaining leaves of the crop with limited nutrients left in it: the straw is then either chopped, spread on the field and ploughed back in or baled for bedding and limited-feed for livestock.
Combine harvesters are one of the most economically important labour saving inventions, significantly reducing the fraction of the population engaged in agriculture.
