Paddy Crop

Harvesting Management

It's time to harvest the crop.

You are advised to:
  • • Harvest the crop when grains are nearly mature and straw turns yellow.
    • Timely harvesting helps in maintaining better grain quality and higher milling recovery.
    • Delay in harvesting increases grain shattering and grain losses.
    • Harvesting should generally be done at about 20–22% grain moisture content.
    • Combines are widely used for paddy harvesting in Punjab.
    • Operate combine at proper speed to reduce grain losses and grain breakage.
    • Prefer combines fitted with PAU Super Straw Management System (Super SMS).
    • Super SMS helps in chopping and uniform spreading of paddy straw in the field.
