Guizotia abyssinica, commonly known as Niger seed, is typically ready for harvest about 120 days after planting. The plant is harvested when the flower heads turn brown and dry. To harvest, cut the flower heads and allow them to dry further if necessary. Once fully dried, the seeds can be threshed by hand or using mechanical means. It is important to ensure that the seeds are fully dry before storage to prevent mold and spoilage.Bodem
