The optimal time to harvest crops depends on the specific crop and its maturity stage. It is generally determined by monitoring factors such as crop appearance, seed color, moisture content, and days after planting. Harvesting at the right time ensures maximum yield and quality.
The phenological stages will give the stage for harvesting. The seed crops use appearance and the moisture as in developing grains. A crop like soybean will turn from green seed to yellow and the appearance of the plants will be brown or grey but all of this can change somewhat based on varitetal difference. In soybean the too dry condtion can cause excessive losses for shattering and spliting of the seeds. The optimal time is related to temperature accumulation called dgreee days. Consult with the literature and do your own learning. Seed crops left too long in the field before harvest can experience sizalble losses in both yield and quality especially when exposed to rainy field conditions.
For some crops, there are essential determinations before harvest, such as TSS in grape juice, beside the fruit colour
Optimal time to harvest crops can vary depending on several factors, including the type of crop, local climate, growing conditions, and intended use of the harvested crop.
The optimum time of Crop harvest varies depending on the variety of the crop. Color of the fruits mostly change once it matured.
Crop harvesting time depends on several points, the way the crop is used, processing, canning, or fresh eating, environmental conditions, and marketing value
السلام عليكم ،أنا تخصصي هو اعلام واتصال،ولا علاقة لي بتخصصكم أستا،لذا اعتذر منكم لعدم قدرتي على الاجابة على سؤالكم
Depend on the type of crop. different crop has different of characters. Physiologically plant has 3 types, C3, C4 and CAM. however, to harvest the plant depend on criteria of maturity.
Please be more speciphcyour question, it depends on the crop, its cultivar, to the weather, and we can understand by looking at the maturity of the fruit, for example, the colour, the taste (sugar content )
You should be very specific to ask a such type of question, different crops have their differnt maturity indices, like grain crop,fruit crop, vegetable crop ,fodder crop.
and the climatic condition in which the crop is grown and most important the socio-economic condition of the farmer.
Depending on the kind and crop type being grown, there may be a difference in the best time to harvest a crop. However, most crops are often harvested when they are full-grown but before they go bad or get too ripe.
The crop's growing stage, the weather, and the intended use of the crop are all variables that can affect when it is time to harvest the crop. For instance, if a crop is produced primarily for its leaves, like spinach or lettuce, the leaves are normally taken while they are young and fragile. When a crop, like tomatoes or cucumbers, is produced for its fruit, it is normally harvested when the fruit is fully developed and has attained the proper size and color.
Farmers decide when to harvest their crops based on two main factors: how quickly the crop will spoil after it's picked(perishability), and how much demand there is for the crop in the market with the specific crop growth period. To make this decision, farmers use their own experience, the knowledge they have about their local area, and sometimes advanced tools or methods. It's important for farmers to think about what they plan to do with the crop before they harvest it.
Peace be upon you. I major in media and communication and have nothing to do with agricultural sciences. I apologize to you for not being able to answer your questions.
