But when the crops are harvested, plastic mulch needs to be removed from the ground for disposal. Otherwise, these wastes are mixed with the soil and have a negative impact on yields by reducing the access of nutrients and moisture in the soil. The purpose of the current study is, therefore, to propose a roller for plastic mulch retriever which is applicable when the crops are harvested, and the plastic mulch needs to be removed from the ground for disposal. The winding mechanism of the plastic mulch retriever performs the main function and must have the high-quality performance of the winding operation in the removal technology. Research based on requirements of tensile strength test method and changes of strength characteristics of plastic mulch from various factors under natural conditions. The coefficient of compaction of the used plastic mulch (Krel), was the ratio of the diameter of the standard plastic mulch which was wound in the factory to the diameter of the used plastic mulch during the winding.}, type={Article}, title={A novel method and device for plastic mulch retriever}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/119797/10%20Khazimov%20et%20al%20815.pdf}, doi={10.24425/jwld.2021.137100}, keywords={compaction, microclimatic conditions, mulch retriever, plastic mulch, polymer degradation}, }
