Detailed Explanation of the Correct Harvesting Methods and Techniques for Sesame

(Agricultural Wealth Network) For harvesting, it is best to cut with a sickle rather than pulling up the plants by hand with the roots, so as to avoid clumps of soil falling into the seeds during threshing. Harvest diseased plants first, then healthy plants. Diseased plants should be threshed immediately after harvesting in a winnowing basket or cloth bag to avoid losing seeds. Bind diseased and healthy plants separately into small bundles; bundles that are too large are not easy to dry. Tie the bundles at the middle-to-lower part of the main stem. If selecting plants in the field for seed saving, they should be harvested separately, bundled separately, dried separately, threshed separately, and stored separately.
