Extension
of the harvest period
To
achieve a long marketing period, the harvest can be prolonged by
different measures. In general the harvesting period of the crop
of one variety lasts 3 - 4 days. With appropriate measures (e. g.
early covering) and the choice of the right variety it is, especially
in regions with a favourable climate, possible to start marketing
in the third decade of July. By means of later sowings and the use
of late maturing varieties it is then possible to stagger the harvest,
and the market supply can be prolonged until frost sets in.
