The cotton mechanized harvest is very advantageous for the collection manual, primarily because operating costs are reduced and the operation of providing the large-scale cultivation. But when the operation is not performed following criteria, can lead to losses and thus reducing gains to the farmer. This study aimed to quantify losses in the harvest of cotton in the city of Stone Ipameri-GO, in experiment conducted on three cotton properties, used the completely randomized design with 10 replications. In the three properties studied the losses in the soil out on the losses in the plant, with all properties, these losses were around 59% of total losses. Overall losses found stood at round 5.1%, 3.5% and 7.5% respectively for the three properties, remaining within the limits considered acceptable.

The soybean is of great importance in the Brazilian agricultural scenario and both productivity and the area cultivated to each crop are increasing, demanding more speed and quality at harvest. However, losses are recorded in the mechanical harvesting of soybeans, a fundamental stage in the production process of field crops. Looking to quantify these losses was used in this study display a loss, and results were compared with the losses collected manually. Data were collected at Fazenda São Luiz, in the city of Santa Juliana - MG, with a harvester dual-rotor axial, with a platform of 9.14 m. We assessed 40 points in the day and night periods, and the variables: water content of grains, travel speed, plant height, height of first pod, grain yield, losses due to disability at the time of cutting, trail system, cleaning system and total grain losses and losses in the separation of clean gr...
