Harvest and Storage of Potato in Autumn

Published: 2024-11-05 Author: mysheen
Last Updated: 2024/11/05, The harvest time of autumn potato is determined by the arrival of early frost. When the temperature drops to 2 ℃, the stems and leaves begin to die, and then enter the harvest time of autumn potato. Try not to damage potatoes during harvest so as not to affect storage. After harvest, the potato should be pre-stored in a dry, ventilated and dark place (about 2-3 days), so that the temperature drops slowly, the moisture gradually dissipates, and the seed coat is aged, the respiration is weakened, and winter storage is carried out after entering the dormant state. Storage can be dug outside or covered with sand indoors at a temperature of 2.

After harvest, the potato should be pre-stored in a dry, ventilated and dark place (about 2-3 days), so that the temperature drops slowly, the moisture gradually dissipates, and the seed coat is aged, the respiration is weakened, and winter storage is carried out after entering the dormant state. The storage can be stored in an outdoor cellar or covered with sand indoors. The best temperature is 2-4 ℃ and relative humidity is 80%, which can maintain its inherent physiological activity. When the temperature is lower than 0 ℃, it will cause freezing injury, and when the temperature exceeds 7 ℃ for a continuous week, it will cause early germination and affect the storage quality.
