The harvest season of ramie depends on the local ecological environment and climate. Generally, two thirds of the stems of the first hemp and the third hemp turn brown, and the black stems of the second hemp are 1/2. When a large number of leaves fall off from the lower part of the stem, it should be harvested.

In the Yangtze River valley, the first kind of hemp is harvested before the awn seeds, the second kind of hemp is harvested before beginning of autumn, and the third kind of hemp is harvested before the first frost. If there is a serious summer drought, the first hemp can be harvested early, so that the second hemp can catch up with the meiyu period in a long period of time.

Harvesting hemp should be completed within one week after the sprouting tillers are unearthed, so as to seize the time and season and achieve early and good seasons. At the same time, it is required to pull one piece and cut one piece, and then intertillage for weeding and topdressing, so as to put the hemp away and fertilize the field, and seize the time to promote the early growth and rapid growth of hemp seedlings in the next season, and the seedlings will arrive in Miao Zhuang.
