abstract:
The influence of the working speed of the Weremczuk double-row carrot topper on the topping quality and breakages of carrot cv. Carotan was defined in the range of 0.15 to 0.29 m s-1. The highest percentage of non-topped roots (21.3%) was noted at the lowest working speed of the topper (0.15 m s-1). However, the lowest amount of breakages in longitudinal roots (4.5%) was found at that topper speed. The yaw angle of the root head cutting plane changed from 6.7º at the lowest investigated topper working speed to 9.1º at the highest speed.
