Harvesting
-
Jasmine gives economic yield only from the third year and upto 12-15 years and then starts declining in their yield.
-
The stage of harvest depends on the purpose of flowers to be harvested.
-
For fresh flowers, fully developed unopened flower buds are picked in the early morning, while for extraction of concrete only fully opened fresh picked flowers are required.
-
-
Pluckers collect the flowers in a bag.
-
Care should be taken to see that the flowers are not badly handled.
-
Wrinkled and damaged during harvest and transit will affect fresh flowers and concrete recovery will be affected and the entire product may be unmarketable.
