Key Findings
- The study was conducted in a L. barbarum plantation in Qinghai Province during the 2023 harvest period
- The separation force and hardness of L. barbarum fruits are influenced by harvesting time, fruit variety, and maturity level
- Ningqi No.1 is best harvested in the late afternoon and evening (17:00-21:00), while Ningqi No.7 shows optimal results when harvested in the morning (7:00-9:00)
