Potato harvest is a critical moment in the agricultural cycle. A successful harvest depends heavily on the preparation of the crop, particularly with regard to desiccation. Killing the haulm makes harvesting easier and reduces the risk of tuber damage. Modern harvesters allow efficient and gentle harvesting that preserves tuber quality. Sustainable harvesting methods, such as electric desiccation, not only improve yields but also help protect the environment.

The right combination of technology and timing is the key to a successful potato harvest that maximises both quality and yield.
