Designing, Constructing, and Performance Testing of Innovated Crop Cutter

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

This study was conducted last November 20, 2016 to September 20, 2017 at San Marcos and Zamora, Cabarroguis, Quirino. This study aims to determine the significant difference between rice crop cutter and sickle in terms of their duration of harvesting (seconds) and mass of harvested rice in kilograms. This study also aims to find out which of the rice crop cutter and sickle performs better in terms of their duration of harvesting (seconds) and on the mass of harvested rice in kilograms.

METHODS

The researcher used t-test to determine if there is a significant difference between the two samples; rice crop cutter and sickle in terms of their duration of harvesting in a given area. Also, the researcher included the weight of the harvested rice to their data. In order to determine the best treatment in terms on the duration of harvesting, the researcher compared the sample mean of each treatment. Same through in finding the best treatment in terms on the mass of harvested rice, the researcher also compared the sample mean of each treatment.

RESULTS

By conducting this research the researcher have come up with the following conclusions; there is a significant difference between Treatment 0 and Treatment 1 in terms on the duration of harvesting in a given area and the researcher also find out that the Treatment 1 (which is the use of rice crop cutter) is a better treatment in terms on the duration of harvesting rice crops in a given area.

DISCUSSIONS

With the use of t-test the researcher found out that there is no significant difference between Treatment 1 and Treatment 0 in terms on the mass of harvested rice. In terms on the weight of harvested rice, Treatment 1 with the use of rice crop cutter was found to be the better treatment.
