Consejos de cultivo
Harvest flowers when ray florets are fully open and disc florets are just beginning to open for maximum pyrethrin content (1.0-1.8% of dry weight).
Pyrethrum performs best at higher elevations (1500-3000 m) in tropical regions, where cooler temperatures optimize pyrethrin synthesis.
Dry harvested flowers rapidly in shade or at low temperatures (below 50C) to preserve pyrethrin potency; sunlight degrades active compounds.
