The harvesting of bitter gourd should take into account the characteristics of the bitter gourd, the growing season, the post-harvest use, the length of the transport time and the mode of transport, the length of the storage time and the storage method, the length of the sales time and the sales method. Pay attention to the following issues when harvesting:

The bitter melon which needs long-distance transportation and storage before water control can stop watering 2-3 days before harvesting, which can effectively enhance its storage stability, reduce decay and prolong the post-harvest preservation period of bitter gourd.

During the safe interval period, some pesticides that are allowed to be used in pollution-free vegetables will be used for the safety of consumption. Only when the safety interval of pesticides is reached can they be harvested.

Timely harvesting and harvesting should be timely, low-yield harvesting is low, products are not up to standard, and flavor, quality and color are not good; late harvesting, not only smashing, affecting yield, but also products are not resistant to storage and transportation. . Generally, the bitter gourd that is sold locally can be harvested at a suitable time; the bitter gourd stored for long-term storage and long-distance transportation should be harvested as early as possible; the bitter gourd harvested in winter can be harvested at night, and the bitter gourd harvested in summer should be harvested early; The bitter gourd in circulation can be harvested at a suitable time, and the bitter gourd circulating at room temperature should be harvested as early as possible; in winter and spring, where the market price is more expensive, it can be harvested as early as possible.

Prevent damage When bitter gourd is harvested, it should be handled gently to prevent mechanical damage. Especially bitter gourd is easy to cause mechanical damage. Mechanical damage is the enemy of post-harvest storage and circulation preservation. Mechanical damage can not only cause increased respiratory metabolism of vegetables, reduce resistance, reduce quality, but also cause microbial infection and lead to rot.

Avoid rain and dew. Do not harvest after rain and when the dew is large. Otherwise, bitter gourd is difficult to keep fresh, and it is easy to cause decay.

Low-temperature harvesting should be harvested as early as possible in the morning with the lowest temperature in the day, which can reduce the field heat carried by bitter gourd and reduce the breathing of the food, which is conducive to the maintenance of post-harvest quality. Avoid harvesting at high temperatures and exposure.

The harvesting method holds the melon in one hand, and the handle is gently cut with a pair of scissors. The handle is left about 1 cm long and the dirt on the peel is wiped off.
