How should sesame be harvested?
Sesame is harvested by hand with a sickle. Sesame is cut and tied into bundles, and then dried. In order to avoid fruit cracking at noon, plastic bags should be laid under sesame seeds. When harvesting sesame seeds, you must harvest them in the morning or evening, and you must not harvest them at noon, because the fruit is easy to burst and the seeds are easy to fall off from the fruit at noon, which will cause losses to the yield. Sesame can only be harvested by manual tapping and exposure at noon. Sesame shuttle will break the opening and leak sesame seeds, then collect them together and remove impurities with a dustpan. Extended information: The sign of sesame maturity is that the plant changes from dark green to yellow or yellow-green, and the lower leaves fall off, leaving only the upper leaves. When sesame seeds are ripe, if they are harvested too early, the seeds will not be fully mature and the quality will be poor. If the fruit is harvested too late, it will burst into the ground, which has a great impact on the yield. Therefore, it is very important to determine the maturity of sesame, which also determines the yield of sesame to a great extent. Sesame should be stored in a cool and ventilated place and dried before storage, otherwise it will be easily bitten by insects in summer, which will affect the eating quality.
