Effect of Curing Period, Plant Hormone and On-farm Storage Methods on Physiological Losses of Potato (Solanum tuberosum) Tubers

Mohammed Ahmed

October 2022: 23-36 DOI: 10.55121/nc.v1i2.41

457 (Abstract) 385 (Download) PDF

 This study was carried out to evaluate the role of curing period, exogenous Abscisic Acids (ABA) levels and on farm storage methods on the physiological quality losses of potato tubers during storage. The research was set out in a Split-Split-Plot Design (SSPD) with curing period allocated to the main plot while storage condition and ABA levels assigned to subplot and sub-sub-plot respectively... more
