Pre-harvest treatment in agriculture are crucial practices that enhance crop quality, yield, and overall harvest efficiency. These treatments involve targeted interventions before the actual harvesting process to optimize crop health and maximize productivity.
Farmers employ various pre-harvest techniques, including precision irrigation, application of growth regulators, and pest control measures. Precision irrigation ensures optimal water supply, promoting uniform ripening and preventing water stress. The application of growth regulators aids in controlling plant height, promoting fruit development, and improving overall crop uniformity. Additionally, pest control measures, such as timely application of pesticides, protect crops from infestations that could compromise yield and quality. Implementing these pre-harvest treatments is essential for creating a favorable environment for crop maturation, ensuring a bountiful and high-quality harvest.
