Resumo
Um método alternativo para arrancamento de cafeeiros é apresentado neste trabalho: consiste ele em uma garra arrancadora presa ao cafeeiro e tracionada por trator. Determinações realizadas no Centro Experimental de Campinas, em latossolo roxo, em fevereiro de 1984, demonstraram que o esforço médio requerido foi de 2.127 kgf por planta para C. canephora L. cv. Robusta e de 1.158 kgf por planta para C. arabica L. cv. Mundo Novo. Dentre os sistemas utilizados, o mais indicado foi o arrancamento de três cafeeiros sucessivamente, alinhados no sentido tratório em esforços independentes, numa só operação. Sua utilização propiciou menor movimento de solo do que no uso de trator com lâmina. Foi possível o emprego de um trator de pneus de potência de 100 cv.
A new method for removing perennial plants is presented in this paper. It consists of using a clamp type of tool that is attached to a plant and pulled by a tractor. A study was conducted in Campinas, State of São Paulo, Brazil, in February of 1984 with a 12 year old coffee plantation on Dusk Red Latosol. The average effort required for coffee plants uprooting was 2,127kgf/plant for C. canephora L. cv. Robusta and 1,158kgf/plant for C. arabica L. cv. Mundo Novo. Among the several systems tested, the best was the use of three clamps applying individual effort in a successive remotion of three plants in one unique operation. This system had the advantage of smaller soil movement than the traditional use of bulldozer. The use of a 100hp wheel tractor was feasible for this system, and it presented a good performance of operation.
