Kailan–hybrid broccoli is hand harvested due to the sensitivity to damages of
this crop and mechanization difficulties. The following manual harvesting forms are
commonly used (Figure 3.3):
- Whole head (A): all stems are used with good uniformity.
- Advanced stems from the main head (B): only the most advanced stems are cut
and the rest are harvested in the following harvest time.
- Regrowths (C)
