Summary

Two years of experiments with dry garlic cv. Thüringer (October planting) revealed comparatively high weight losses under natural ventilation (at 6.5 and 8.3 deg C). The weight loss varied between 0.76 and 0.81%/week. In a machine-cooled store (-1 to -2 deg C), weight loss was 0.50%/week. In the naturally ventilated store, market quality deteriorated by 3.8-4.5%/week; with machine-cooling this was 0.8-1.1%/week. It is concluded that garlic requires machine-cooling at -1 to -2 deg C from mid-September.
