Trends in mechanization development in collecting biomass of energy crops

Energetske kulture su sve kulture koje se uzgajaju s krajnjim ciljem proizvodnje energije, a karakterizira ih visok prinos po jedinici površine, niska agrotehnička ulaganja te mogućnost konverzije u različite oblike biogoriva. Kako bi se smanjila potrošnja primarne energije, a povećala efikasnost proizvodnje i prikupljana biomase energetskih kultura, u novije vrijeme je poseban naglasak stavljen na razvoj suvremene mehanizacije. Proizvođači nude različita tehnička i tehnološka rješenja, a cilj ovoga rada je predstaviti značajnije trendove razvoja poljoprivredne mehanizacije za žetvu i prikupljanje energetskih kultura.Energy crops are all crops that are grown with the ultimate goal of energy production, and are characterized by high yield per unit area, low agro-technical investments and the possibility of conversion into various forms of biofuels. In order to reduce the consumption of primary energy, and increase the efficiency of production and collection of biomass of energy crops, in recent times, special emphasis has been placed on the development of modern mechanization. Producers offer various technical and technological solutions, and the aim of this paper is to present the possibility of development and using field mechanization in the harvest of energy crops in the process of biomass production
