HARVESTING PYRETHRUM (CLASSIC REPRINT)

Excerpt from Harvesting PyrethrumThe machine must also be so designed that it is adaptable to the system of planting usually followed, especially with respect to the distance between the rows. The wheels of the machine must not run on the harvested rows because the plants will be damaged. Once a machine is available the spacing of the rows in plantings made there after should of course be such that the best performance may be secured. Pyrethrum prefers light, well-drained ground and is usually grown on sandy soil types on which difficulty in securing proper trac tion may be experienced. Moreover, under irrigation the plants are grown on ridges with irrigation furrows midway between the rows. These various conditions must be taken into consideration if the machine is to be practical under as many conditions as possible.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
