Effect of Storage on the Physical Properties of the some Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) Cultivars

28892

Knowledge the changes that will occur in the quality and physiological values during storage is an important issue as well as potato growing and breeding. The parameters were examined tuber weight loss variations, the rates of waking up showing, giving shoot tubers, the average number of bud and shoot, shoot length and diameter of potato varieties (Binella,Granola, Bamba, Natascha, Toscana, Slaney ve Marfona) at the end of the storage period at 4-6 °C temperature and 90-98%humidity conditions. In the study, tubers of potato cultivars produced in Erzurum ecology in 2013-2014 years. Changes in the physical properties was determined significant on by. According to the overall average of potato varieties at the end of storage, 2.03% weight loss, 94.6% waking up 92.9% shoot in potato tubers was recorded. The numbers of eye and shoot determined have been 6.3 and 7.5 units. Consisting shoots have values 0.99 cm in length and 0.36 cm in width. As a result, the potatoes stored in long-term controlled and suitable conditions resulted in weight loss. According to potato varieties, the physical properties of potato tubers showed changes. At the end of storage period, Slaney cv was superior in terms of least weight loss number with higher shoots and bud as well as shoot length and diameter and Marfona cv was superior with all parameters except weight loss.
