The 2024 harvest season has shaped up to be one where patience will be critical in realizing optimum yields and market grades. Yesterday, I posted information on the impact of low temperatures on advances in pod maturity. It is considerably earlier than normal, at least in more recent history, to be asking this question. But here we are.

Below you will find screenshots from my phone with the outlook for low and high temperatures for the next week (including today, September 10) for several locations. While these numbers are general for an area or town, they suggest that we may dodge the 2-day, high 40s-threshold for not seeing further advances in maturity. When this threshold does hold true (we experienced it around September 20-21 in 3 of the past 4 years,) further maturation of pods has been slow or non-existent.

Accumulation of heat units will be very modest over the next week or so. But there is a chance for the crop to become more mature. It is hard to know how quickly we will get closer to what we would like to see.

This is always a stressful time. There are some challenging decisions to make as we move through the next few weeks. I encourage you to be as patient as you can. But I know you have realities that are very different from a research/extension person at NC State.

We always consider tropical weather when we make choices on when to dig pods and invert vines. Frost is an important consideration too. While weather events can change quickly, tropical weather seems relatively calm right now, and frost is not on the horizon. If you can stand it, try to go from week to week with as much patience and flexibility as possible.

Here are the screenshots.
