RESUMO - As perdas na colheita podem estar relacionadas tanto a colhedora, como também a fatores ligados a cultura como: mau preparo do solo, densidade de plantas, inadequação da época de semeadura são alguns deles. O presente estudo objetivou determinar a influência da velocidade de semeadura no processo de colheita mecanizada de milho, por meio do controle de qualidade do processo. O experimento foi conduzido em Latossolo Vermelho, textura argilosa e relevo suave ondulado. O delineamento foi baseado na óptica do Controle Estatístico de ProcessoCEP, onde os dados foram coletados em pontos aleatórios em função do tempo. Os indicadores de qualidade avaliados foram divididos em parâmetros de semeadura (população de plantas e distribuição longitudinal de plântulas); e de colheita (Perdas de grãos e distribuição de palha) em função de seis velocidades de deslocamento (aproximadamente 2,0; 4,0; 6,0; 9,0; 10,0 e 12,0 Km.h-1). Os dados foram submetidos a análise descritiva para análise do comportamento. Como ferramentas do controle estatístico de processo utilizou-se, run charts ou gráfico sequencial e carta de controle de valores individuais para análise da qualidade do processo. A maior velocidade (V6) apresentou a maior variabilidade dos dados para todas as variáveis. A operação da colheita mecanizada de milho foi influenciada por fatores extrínsecos e intrínsecos a ela.Palavras-chave: Controle estatístico de processo, espaçamentos normais, perdas, população de plantas.QUALITY IN MECHANIZED HARVEST OF CORN SOWN IN DIFFERENT SPEEDSABSTRACT - The harvest losses may be associated to harvester as well as factors related to cultivation such as poor soil preparation, plant density, unsuitable sowing time. This study aimed to determine the effect of speed sowing in the mechanized harvest of corn, through the control of the quality of the process. The experiment was conducted in a clayey Oxisol and undulate relief. The design was based on the optics of the Statistical Process Control SPC, and the data were collected at random points in function of time. The quality indicators evaluated were divided into sowing parameters (plant population and longitudinal distribution of seedlings) and harvesting (loss of grain and straw distribution) in function of six displacement speeds (approximately 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 9.0, 10.0 and 12.0 Km.h-1). The data were submitted to descriptive analysis for behavior analysis. As tools for the statistical control of the process, run charts or sequential graph were used, and control chart of individual values for analysis of the quality of the process. The highest speed (V6) showed the highest variability of the data for all variables. The operation of mechanized harvest of corn was influenced by extrinsic and intrinsic factors.Keywords: statistical process control, normal spacings, losses, plant population.

Perennial cereals may offer a novel forage source in mixed farming enterprises while improving the sustainability of grain farming. There has been limited analysis of the quality of this forage type and its likely value to mixed grazing/cropping farming systems. This study evaluated the biomass and grain production of four wheat × wheatgrass hybrid experimental lines under four simulated grazing regimes; nil defoliation (grain only; D0), defoliate once (D1), defoliate twice (D2) and defoliate twice followed by a simulated hay cut (D3), and compared performance to a winter wheat, Wedgetail, and the perennial grass Thinopyrum intermedium. Early biomass production of the perennial entries was significantly less than Wedgetail (P = 0.01). Grain yield from Wedgetail was generally higher (P < 0.001) than all other lines. As defoliation frequency increased, the comparative difference in grain yield between Wedgetail and the hybrid entries decreased, with lines OK7211542 and 11955 exceeding the grain yield of Wedgetail in the D3 treatment. Cumulative annual biomass production of the hybrid lines exceeded that of Wedgetail, though the seasonal production differed markedly. Generally there was limited decline in perennial plant population between April and December in both years of the experiment. Defoliation had little impact on perennial plant survival; however, none of the hybrids could sustain a significant plant population beyond the second summer of the experiment. Yield declines of the hybrid entries was due to increasing plant mortality, rather than a predisposed yield limitation of the germplasm, as all hybrid entries either maintained or increased their grain yield on a per plant basis. In contrast, the perennial grass maintained a constant population for the duration of the experiment. Dry matter digestibility and energy content of all forages tested were high, averaging 80.2% and 13.3 MJ ME/kg DM, respectively. Crude protein was higher (P < 0.001) in Th. intermedium and the hybrid entries with 62% and 25% more crude protein than Wedgetail, respectively. All cereals had very high potassium : sodium and low calcium : phosphorus ratios, which indicated the need to provide mineral supplements to grazing animals to maintain growth rates and manage animal health disorders, similar to conventional grazing cereals. This paper discusses the role perennial cereals could play in a sustainable expansion of the cropping zone in south-eastern Australia.
