The end of September and the beginning of October is the time for peanut harvesting. At this time, if continuous rainfall occurs, what harm will it do to the peanut harvest? How should we use two way radio to help us harvest peanuts.
What harm will continuous precipitation cause to peanut harvest?
Southeastern region of the United States: Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. These areas produce approximately 65% of the peanuts grown in the United States. Among them, Georgia is the largest peanut-producing state in the United States, and its peanut planting proportion was close to 50% in 2019.
What harm will sustained precipitation do to peanuts?
1. Peanut plant damage: Peanuts are leguminous plants and require sufficient light and appropriate amounts of water during growth. However, continuous heavy rain will cause the peanut plants to soak in water, making the roots unable to breathe normally, and in severe cases, the plants will die. This will result in a reduction in the total harvest.
2. Affects the quality of peanut pods: Peanut pods need to gradually mature in the sun to ensure fruit quality and taste. However, heavy rain will cause damage to the fruit pods, increase the moisture in the fruit, and worsen the taste, which will affect the market value of peanuts. The most straightforward display is that the fruits of peanuts are very small.
3. Impact on peanut picking and transportation: During the maturity period of peanuts, intensive picking work is required. However, continuous heavy rains can make the ground slippery, making it easy for workers to slip and get injured when picking peanuts, and it is also difficult for harvesting machines to work smoothly on muddy roads.
4. Affect the later yield of peanuts: Frequent rainfall will affect the later yield of peanuts and form a certain amount of water eggs, resulting in reduced yields.
Therefore, continuous precipitation will cause various harms to peanut harvest, and attention must be paid to drainage, waterproofing and other measures to reduce losses.
How can two way radio help us when harvesting peanuts?
Large areas of peanut planting can be harvested using peanut harvesters. For example, the KMC peanut harvester produced in the United States is very popular in the United States. But there are inevitably missing peanuts that need to be picked up by workers.
Firstly, two way radio can ensure timely communication between workers working on the farm. Timely communication in case of any situation can not only improve efficiency, but also ensure worker safety.
Secondly, when the vox function in the walkie-talkie is turned on, you can talk freely without pressing the PTT button, freeing your hands and not delaying work.
Third, the structure of the walkie-talkies is more suitable for outdoor use. Not only are they resistant to drops, some also have IP67 waterproof and dustproof functions. The maintenance and purchase prices are much lower than that of mobile phones.
Fourth,long distance calls. The harvester can be equipped with RA87 40w gmrs mobile radio, and workers can carry 5w gmrs two way radio to reach 10km or more (the actual distance depends on the site environment)
Fifth, radios containing NOAA, such as RA86 20w mobile radio, can know weather conditions in advance, make timely judgments, and reduce crop losses.
