The physics and physiology of storage

  • Chapter
The Potato Crop

Part of the book series: World Crop Series ((WOCS))

Abstract

Whether or not to store potatoes and how to store them are commercial decisions which must depend upon the circumstances of the individual case. The technicalities of storage should never be considered in isolation. The influence of many storage variables upon the quality of stored potatoes and upon storage losses can be found in the following pages. On the basis of this information technically optimal methods of storage might be suggested.
