Method and storage basket for the drying of vegetable leaves, especially tobacco leaves.

摘要

A method and a storage basket have been developed to facilitate the harvesting, sorting and drying of plant leaves such as tobacco leaves. The basket (2) principally consists of a chute (20), the shape and size of which can be adjusted to the shape and size of the leaves (1) to be harvested, each end of the chute ending in an end plate (21). Handles (25; 26) enable the baskets to be held easily, optionally by mechanical means. Other means (24; 27, 28) enable the baskets to be stacked one on top of the other, either close together or a distance apart.
