Sweet potatoes cannot be mixed with potatoes

Last Updated: 2024/11/25, Sweet potato can not be mixed with potato for two reasons: sweet potato is a heat-loving crop with different temperature during cellar period. Sweet potato is planted in summer and early autumn with high temperature, and the optimum temperature in cellar period is 10 ℃ ~ 15 ℃. If the temperature is too low, it will be damaged by cold and "hard heart" rot will occur in serious cases. Potato is a cold-loving crop, which is planted in early spring and late autumn with low temperature. The optimum temperature in cellar period is 1 ℃ ~ 5 ℃. If the temperature is too high, it will sprout and turn green and poisonous and inedible. During the cellar storage period, different ventilation and light transmittance are required. Sweet potatoes are stored in root tubers and called when they are stored in winter.

Sweet potatoes cannot be mixed with potatoes for two reasons:

Sweet potato with different temperature in cellar period is a heat-loving crop, which is planted in summer and early autumn with high temperature. The optimum temperature in cellar period is 10 ℃ ~ 15 ℃. If the temperature is too low, it will be damaged by cold and "hard core" rot will occur in serious cases. Potato is a cold-loving crop, which is planted in early spring and late autumn with low temperature. The optimum temperature in cellar period is 1 ℃ ~ 5 ℃. If the temperature is too high, it will sprout and turn green and poisonous and inedible.

During the cellar storage period, different ventilation and light are required for sweet potato root storage, which has weak respiration and low oxygen demand during winter storage, and can safely survive the winter under the condition of no light, dark and no ventilation and micro-oxygen. Potato is different, it is tuber storage, winter storage, not only have a certain amount of scattered light, but also must have sufficient oxygen. If hypoxia, potatoes are forced to carry out anaerobic respiration, due to alcoholism, resulting in potato "sweating" resulting in rot, so winter storage should have good ventilation and moderate light transmission conditions.

According to the physiological characteristics of sweet potato and potato during storage, if they are stored together, it is impossible to meet the needs of temperature, light and oxygen in management. The result is either poisonous potato sprouting or sweet potato "hard heart", so don't mix the two potatoes for storage.
