Harvesting poppies

Recommended Posts

Anybody have any idea about what sort of percentage of alkaloids are lost if you don't harvest them at optimun time and instead let them fully mature for the seeds.

the more you wait the more weight of alkaloid you will harvest (in general) but the proportion between alkaloid will change. at optimum time, the morphine concentration is high and codein low and at the end of the cycle, it is the opposite.

also think that there are some strain devellopped for concentration in latex and others in dried capsules.

all the infos and more are available at UNODOCS but i can't remember the adress (will try to refind it)
