Potential Impact of Potato Wound Healing and Quality Due to Post-Harvest Sprout and Disease Control Product Application
Grant
Overview
abstract
1. Evaluate the level of suberization and weight loss of cut tubers treated with sprout control agents (CIPC, clove oil) over time in storage. 2. Evaluate the level of suberization and weight loss of cut tubers treated with disease control agents (Phosphorous acid, hydrogen peroxide/peracetic acid mixture, biocontrol agents) over time in storage. 3.Test if potential changes in the rate of wound healing equate to greater disease (Fusarium dry rot) development.
