Post-harvest practices in hazelnut production are crucial for maintaining product quality and preparing orchards for the upcoming production season. At Durak Hazelnuts, we are sharing the key practices that our growers should focus on during September.
Promptly collecting any hazelnuts remaining in the orchard after the harvest helps minimize product losses and the risk of pest infestations. The harvested hazelnuts must be dried in clean, suitable areas, with moisture levels monitored and preparations made for safe storage.
Separating foreign matter from the dried product and storing the hazelnuts in dry, cool, and well-ventilated warehouses helps preserve product quality.
Removing harvest residues and diseased plant material from the orchard during this period is also vital for orchard sanitation. Furthermore, collecting soil samples at the right time and in the proper manner facilitates the creation of autumn fertilization and maintenance plans based on the analysis results.
At Durak Hazelnuts, we remain committed to informing our growers and continuing our sustainable agriculture initiatives to support the production of high-quality, safe hazelnuts.
