Résumé

In two-thirds of all rotted Dioscorea rotundata tubers examined in storage barns in trials in Nigeria, the point of entry for the rot organisms was a mechanical injury of some kind. In the other cases senescence of sound tubers might have caused decay. With regulated air movement around the tubers, rotting of sound tubers was completely suppressed. Slow air movement resulted in the lowest moisture losses but the greatest total storage loss.
