The Illustrated Guide to Full Mechanization of Wheat Production: Harvesting, published by China Agricultural Science and Technology Press, introduces mechanized wheat harvesting and post-harvest handling.

For wheat harvesting, the guide covers harvest timing and preparation, safe operation, and the operation and maintenance of wheat combine harvesters. It also introduces trial cutting, harvest quality requirements, major types of harvest loss, and the measurement of harvest losses. The guide also explains the adjustment of key components and operating parameters of combine harvesters according to field environment and crop growth conditions. It covers operating routes and speeds, straw management, and harvesting methods for lodged and over-mature wheat and for harvesting after prolonged rainy weather.
