Author(s) : BERTOLINI P., GUARNIERI A.

Type of article: Periodical article

Summary

POTATOES WERE STORED IN 3 INSULATED BINS HAVING VENTILATION RATES OF 0. 0190, 0.0306 AND 0.0417 M3/S.T. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT IN THE CLIMATE OF NORTHERN ITALY POTATOES CAN BE STORED SUCCESSFULLY AT VENTILATION RATES OF NOT LESS THAN 0.0306 M3/S.T RESULTING IN PRODUCT WEIGHT LOSS OF LESS THAN 2. 0% AFTER 100 DAYS' STORAGE. THE INCIDENCE OF DISEASES AND OF SPROUTING WAS VERY LOW AT RATES OF 0.0306 AND 0.0417 M3/S.T, BUT GREATER AT 0.019 M3/S.T BECAUSE OF THE HIGHER TUBER TEMPERATURE.
