• Harvesting: • Timing of harvest is an important aspect of harvesting. It should be noted that at no point of time plants should be allowed to flower since after flowering the Stevioside percentage goes down rapidly and leaves are rendered unmarketable. The first harvesting can be done four to five months after planting (three months after transplanting). Subsequent harvesting can be done every three months, for three to five consecutive years
Harvesting: • Harvesting should be done as late as possible. • Following harvest the whole plant is dried and the leaves separated from the stems for further processing. • If cut plant material is not dried quickly leaf quality can deteriorate by oxidation, losing up to one third of stevioside content after three days. A green dried leaf colour is desirable and represents good quality.
