The University of California Vegetable Research and Information Center PROPER ENVIRONMENT FOR. POTATO STORAGE . The authors are: R. E. Voss, Extension Vegetable Specialist, Davis; K. G. Baghott, Farm Advisor, Modoc-Siskiyou Counties; and H. Timm, Specialist, Department, of Vegetable Crops, Davis. The two critical environmental factors suberin layer (similar to a scab on animals). involved in properly storing potatoes are develops in 3 to 5 days. Cell regeneration, or temperature and humidity. Adequate and complete wound healing, can take place unrestricted air movement is also necessary beneath this suberin within 10 to 20 days, to maintain constant temperature and depending on the condition of the potatoes . humidity throughout the STORAGE pile, and to prevent excessive shrinkage from moisture When potatoes are placed in STORAGE , rapid loss and decay. cooling can result in more rot forming organisms in the tuber because the entry TEMPERATURE points remain unhealed. Rapid cooling, particularly in the absence of adequate air, Several factors can influence temperature can also result in black spot and other POTATO management for stored potatoes .
the curing period because the heat and moisture generated by the potatoes may provide an environment that is favorable for wound healing. Do not allow free moisture (condensation) to form during storage. If that does occur, air circulation may be necessary. Thereafter, air movement may be required to maintain the desired temperature and humidity
