감자 재배(栽培)에 있어서 기계(機械)를 이용(利用)하여 수확(收穫)의 생력화(省力化)로 생산비(生産費)를 절감(節減)하기 위해 본(本) 시험(試驗)을 수행(遂行)한 결과(結果)는 다음과 같다. 1. 기계(機械)를 이용(利用)한 감자 굴취수확(掘取收穫)은 관행인력수확(慣行人力收穫)에 비해 트랙터 후부(後部)에 굴취기를 이용(利用)한 것이 94%로 생력효과(省力效果)에서 관행인력수확(慣行人力收穫)에 비해 42-45%의 노력시간(努力時間)을 절약(節約)함으로 42-45%의 작업비(作業費)를 절감(節減)했다.

The experiment is conducted to reduce the labor and production cost with the labor save of harvest if cultivating the potatoes using the machine and the results are as follows. On labor saving effect in transparent vinyl mulching, digging working hours per 10a in the case of using tractor are 60 min., fixing + turning time is 5 min. and 30sec., the time of harvest is 65 min and 30sec., digging working hours using cultivator are 99 min. and fixing +turning time is 5 min. and 30sec., but the time of hand harvesting is 990 min. and in digging labor saving effect, tractor shows 94% in the harvesting period and harvest by cultivator 90%. On non mulching cases, the harvest by tractor takes 49 min. and 30 sec. and that by cultivator does 87 min. and 30 sec., and digging labor saving effect shows 94% in the tractor harvest and 90% in the cultivator harvest. Therefore, on the operation efficiency per hour, in the case of tractor with digger vinyl mulching and non mulching show, 0.091~0.121ha and in the case of cultivator with digger both show 0.057~0.069ha, so in the mechanized harvest of potatoes, the harvest by tractor with digger is the best. On the cost and labor save for harvesting the potatoes with labor saving effect, tractor shows 19 hours and 20 min./10a in vinyl mulching and 19 hours. and 54 min./10a in non mulching, so it shows the short hours for harvesting. And labor saving effect shows 42~45% in comparison with 35 hours and 21 min. ~35 hours and 23 min.(123,113~130,613 won) of the hand harvest, so the cost was reduced to 71,250~72,225 won. On the cultivator with diggers, vinyl mulching takes 19 hours and 55 min. and non mulching 19 hours and 38 min., so the labor saving effect and cost were reduced to 14~44% (72,675~73,313 won) in comparison with the hand harvest.
