This 2005 Hort Innovation study involved a survey of packers, supply chain monitoring and storage trials. Storage and transport temperatures ranged from 4C to ambient, with washed potatoes more likely to be cooled that brushed or dirty potatoes.

This 2004 Best Practice guide for handling and storing seed potatoes includes information and checklists as well as reference information on critical times and temperatures and a troubleshooting guide.

This 2003 report proposes guidelines on site-specific nitrogen management using ‘real-time’ monitoring tools. By looking at plant, stem and tuber numbers, yield, tuber size and quality and previous paddock history the impact of nitrogen on a seed crop was determined.

This 2003 paper by SA Research &Development Institute delves into the postharvest washing of potatoes to find where bacterial soft rot originates and where it develops. The report suggests some ways in which soft rot causing bacteria can be controlled in this process.

How well do pre- and postharvest anti-sprouting treatments work? What are some steps that you can take to reduce the sprouting of your stored potatoes? This Scientific Journal article covers this topic in depth, giving you the most up to date information and solutions.
