Storage life
Storage life is influenced by:
- storage temperature
- use of diffuse light
- application of sprout inhibitors
Estimated storage life
The storage life is the length of the period that potatoes can be stored and still be suitable to use as either consumption or seed.
The data given in this table only serve as a guideline, not only because not all potatoes have the same 'storage life' but also because the evaluation of quality at the end of the storage season is subjective.
The data given are more valid for varieties with a good storage quality, for good quality lots and an excellent storage management.
