The aim of this work is to determine the influence of bio-preparation for cutting mechanical characteristics of cannabis plant residues, depending on the biological preparation action period and compare the research results with the same researches obtained in natural conditions. The influence of bio-preparation on cannabis residues cutting with different knives was determined. Experimental research in the physical-mechanical properties of plant residues was conducted at the Institute of Agricultural Engineering and Safety of Aleksandras Stulginskis University, using the experimental research machine “Instron 5960”. The results of the experimental research showed that the forces required for cutting of cannabis plant residues are lower using biological preparation than without it. Using an angled knife for cannabis residues cutting left on the soil surface less force is needed than using a vertical knife. Summarising it can be asserted that many factors such as the type of the plant, the time lying on the soil, biological preparation and its action period, constructional parameters of the cutting knives and other factors influence the mechanical characteristics of plant residues cutting forces.
