6. Guidelines in Collecting Plant Materials
for Processing
 Underground plant parts are best collected when their leaves begin
to shed off.
 Bark are stripped when plants are in vigorous growth
 Leaves and stem are best gathered when plants are in their most
luxuriant growth.
- Collect mature leaves from dense stands
-Allow or safe number of leaves in branch to
remain for continuous sustenance and growth of
plants.
- Harvest from plant to the other on rotation basis.
