Apple harvesting method

The main harvesting method of apples is manual harvesting. When picking apples, hold the top of the apple, press your fingers on the stem and lift it up, and the stem will be separated from the branches. When picking apples, gently pick them from outside to inside and from bottom to top, and put them in order. The harvested baskets should be lined to prevent collision, squeezing and stabbing.

Post-harvest treatment of apples

Picking apples is generally carried out in two steps. For the first time, after all the leaves of apple trees fall off, the diseased leaves, fruits and branches in the orchard should be collected, burned or buried deeply to reduce the residue of germs in the orchard. Then, after the fruit trees are pruned, the pruned diseased branches should be burned.
