Andy's Advice:Storing Skinned And Bruised Potatoes

摘要

The beginning of the 2012 harvest was quite different than that of years past. Instead of dealing with mud and cold temperatures, potato harvest was greeted with warm and dry conditions, but that changed with an early snow storm on October 4th. Priorto October 4th, approximately 83% of potato acres in North Dakota were harvested with dry soil and many tubers had skinning and bruising. Some of the situations that might be faced with the storage of potatoes harvested under dry and hot conditions and what can be done to mitigate long-term effects will be discussed.
