Dehaulming in Potato | IBPS AFO #Shorts

• Dehaulming is the practice in which aerial parts of a Potato plant are removed 10-15 days before harvesting. • Dehaulming is done to prevent the planting material from viral disease transmitted by aphids in Potato. • After dehaulming, tubers are left in the field for 2-3 weeks for the skin to harden. • Hardened skin reduces injuries during post harvest handling.
