Abstract
A combination spray of CIPC, thiabendazole, and chlorine applied to potatoes at time of storage negated the detrimental effect of CIPC when applied to freshly harvested tubers. It also prevented sprouting and reduced the incidence of pressure bruise. The application of thiabendazole and chlorine reduced Fusarium tuber rot and the degree of tissue degradation around wounds, thereby increasing tuber quality.
Resumen
Una aplicación combinada de CIPC, Thiabendazole y Chlorine a las papas al momento de almacenamiento negó el efecto detrimental de CIPC cuando se aplicó a tubérculos recientemente cosechados. También se evitó el brotamiento y redujo la incidencia de magullamiento por presión. La aplicación de Thiabendazole y Chlorine redujo la podredumbre del tubérculo causada porFusarium y el grado de degradación de tejidos alrededor de las heridas, incrementando, por lo tanto, la calidad de los tubérculos.
