The Planting After 50 days of great care, harvesting of the tobacco plants can be started. In Indonesia, tobacco leaves are usually ready for picking from July through October. However, there is no exact time for harvesting. The maturity of leaves differ from one plant to another. It is the knowledge of the tobacco farmers in the field that determines whether leaves are mature enough to be picked.
Tobacco plants consist of leaves on the stem that grow in 4 different parts:
Koseran (base leaves), Kaki (lower leaves), Tengah (centre leaves), and Putjuk (top leaves).
