Abstract

In this study, we investigated the cultivation patterns and harvesting operations of spring and summer potatoes in South Korea to standardize potato cultivation patterns and the use of harvesting machinery. The main production areas selected for the survey included Andong-si in Gyeongsangbuk-do for spring potatoes and Pyeongchang-gun and Jeongseon-gun in Gangwon-do for summer potatoes. Through the survey, we measured ridge width, furrow width, planting distance, and spacing in the row for cultivation patterns. The status of harvesting operations was surveyed, including yield, the rate of marketable potatoes, digging damage rate, digging loss rate, and work efficiency. The results of the cultivation pattern showed that both single and double-row cultivation patterns were employed for spring potatoes, while only the single-row pattern was utilized for summer potatoes. The status of the harvesting operation showed that yield was higher for summer potatoes than spring potatoes. Single-row cultivation of spring potatoes yielded the highest rates of marketable potatoes but suffered the most digging damage with the greatest loss rates. Additionally, the need for developing an excavation and collection type harvester was identified by analyzing the manpower and machinery work efficiency. Our findings provide the basic data for future research aimed at standardizing potato cultivation patterns and the use of harvesting machinery.
