Last Updated: 2024/11/22, The stored lotus roots should be strictly selected for disease-free, solid lotus roots with thick flesh and low water content, which should not be washed after harvest and stored with mud on the surface. It can be stored in shallow pits indoors and covered with straw or soil. Or in the storage for sand stratification, the surface covered with sand 5 cm 10 cm. The cover should not be too thin, otherwise the bulbs of the surface layer are easy to dehydrate and lose freshness. If the humidity is too high, it is easy to take root and rot. According to the experiment, it was buried with dry sand in cold storage at 5: 7 ℃ (finally, 11 ℃) and in ordinary basement (9: 14 ℃ in winter, 23: 25 ℃ in summer).

According to the experiment, there is no obvious difference in the effect of dry sand burying in cold storage at 5: 7 ℃ (finally, 11 ℃) and in ordinary basement (9: 14 ℃ in winter, 23: 25 ℃ in summer). The effect of closed storage with plastic bags is not as good as that buried in sand, and it is easy to mildew, rooting and browning.
