Abstract
A study was conducted on the effect of harvest seasonality and harvest timing on post-harvest regrowth for wild A. linearis plants. Field data support the conventional practice of summer harvests that depend on a host of ecological and social factors. A January harvest (Summer) resulted in the highest vegetative and productive output compared with plants subjected to April (autumn) and July (winter) harvest treatments.
