Sugar management is an important factor for potato crops. In this month's 'Focus on Potato' presentation, titled "Sugar Management in Storage," Dr. A.J. Bussan from the University of Wisconsin guides viewers through sugar management of tubers during various stages of crop management and storage.
This talk offers guidance on in-season practices, best practices and timing during potato harvest, preconditioning in storage and storage management.
Sugar management is an important factor for potato crops, particularly those that end up as potato chips or French fries. This talk will help growers, consultants, and researchers -- as well as others involved in pre-harvest and post-harvest management -- develop potatoes with desirable sugar levels.
In this presentation, sugar management in various stages of crop management and storage will be discussed. These stages cover in-season practices, particularly in relation to potato crop maturity and stress; best practices and timing during potato harvest; managing preconditioning in storage, and storage management.
The webcast will be freely available through May 31.
