Determination of Shearing Parameters of Stalks and Flowers of Mountain Tea (Sideritis libanotica Labill. Ssp. Linearis) Plant

Abstract

Turkey has an important potential in the production of medicinal plants in terms of its wide plant diversity, different climates and wide area. One of these plants is a bush plant of the genus Sideritis from the Lamiaceae family, which grows naturally in our country. Information about the growing and harvesting techniques of these wild plants is insufficient. Determination of harvest parameters of these plants is an important factor in cultivation, designing the harvesting machines, increasing the crop yield and decreasing the labor requirement. In this study cutting tests of stalk and rupture test of flower were carried out regarding to the harvest of Sideritis libanotica Labill. ssp. Linearis (mountain tea) species which is one of the important medicinal plants of the Turkish flora. The experiments were carried out with a height of 0-10 cm (harvest height) from the soil surface of the plant stalk, 3 different knife types (smooth, fine toothed, coarse toothed) and 3 different knife loading speeds (150, 200, 250 min-1). The maximum force values were obtained in the experiments varied between 11.32±3.41 and 18.57±4.02 N, while the deformation values occurring in the plant stalk varied between 13.19±2.32 and 25.97 ± 2.11 mm.
