2022-12-19

In recent years, the market demand for quinoa has been strong, and the planting area has been expanding. Gansu Province is a major quinoa planting province, but because there is no special equipment for quinoa sowing and harvesting in China, the cost of quinoa sowing period is high and the loss of harvest period is large, which dampens the enthusiasm of planting enterprises and cooperatives to a certain extent. In order to improve the level of mechanized operation of quinoa and promote the development of quinoa industrialization, the R & D team of the school adopted the method of combining production, teaching and research to organize the Gansu Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Leivoapos Group, Gansu Agricultural Mechanization Technology Extension Station, The agronomic agricultural machinery experts of the Tianzhu County Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Machinery Technology Extension Station have carried out continuous theoretical research and field experiments since 2018, and formed an improvement plan for the test prototype, at the same time, a proposal for improvement of the quinoa combine was submitted in writing to the Rivoapos Group. The 2019 generation of combine harvester conducted a field operation demonstration in Tianzhu County, which was well received by experts and growers present. In 2020, with the continuous improvement of the operating performance of the second generation quinoa combine harvester, the grain loss rate of the operating machine also dropped from 30% to less than 3%, marking the successful development of the first self-propelled quinoa combine harvester in China.
It is reported that the research and development team of north characteristic crop mechanization harvesting equipment of Gansu Agricultural University has long been committed to the research and development of characteristic oil and economic crop harvesting equipment. The quinoa combine harvester developed this time is expected to be mass-produced by Revoapos Group by the end of this year, and its research results will contribute positively to the sustainable development of dry farming in Gansu and serve the strategy of rural revitalization.
