What crops are harvested in autumn?

You can harvest soybeans, tomatoes, radishes, mung beans, cotton, corn and other crops in autumn.

1. Soybean: The optimum temperature for flowering and pod setting is 20-28℃, and the harvest period is July-September.

2. Tomatoes: Try not to bring fruit stalks when picking, and handle them gently when picking to prevent the fruits from stabbing each other.

3. Radish: Summer radishes are mostly planted in May-June and can be harvested in July-August.

4. Mung beans: August is generally the harvest season of mung beans every year.

Matters needing attention in autumn harvest:

The first is the determination of autumn harvest time of crops. When crops mature and start to harvest, both early harvest and late harvest will affect crop yield.

Try to avoid harvesting in rainy season, and it is easy to have continuous rainy weather in autumn, which brings great difficulty to autumn harvest. Because peanuts, corn and other crops need to be dried in time after harvest, otherwise they are easy to go moldy and deteriorate, affecting quality and sales. Therefore, when harvesting in autumn, try to avoid continuous rainy weather, as long as it does not affect the planting of the next crop, it can be harvested early or late.

The third point is the work of returning straw to the field. After the crops are harvested, farmers can only smash the straw and return it to the field, because the country prohibits burning straw. Due to insufficient decomposition of straw, it is easy to cause underground pests and diseases to the next crop. Straw must be thoroughly crushed. When turning the ground, a decomposing agent can be added to promote the decomposition of straw, and particles for controlling underground pests can also be sprinkled.
