Harvesting
The crop was harvested at full maturity after 97 days of planting when 80 to
90% plants showed leaf senescence and the plant tops started drying up. Haulm
killing was done 7days before harvesting. Ten sample plants were harvested at
first from each plot and then the whole plot was harvested by khurpi/spade very
carefully so that the tubers were not cut nor injured heavily.
