Best practices to prevent rot in stored potatoes
A longtime grower notes that no perfect treatment exists for potato rot. Key tips include storing in a cellar near 58 to 86 degrees, sorting after sweating, and removing rotted tubers to stop spread. Wet rot spreads from decayed potatoes, while dry rot is rarely transmitted between tubers. Potatoes left to sweat in field pits often show rot before cellar storage. Clean potatoes with little soil spread rot faster than dusty ones, possibly due to soil moisture acting as a barrier to transmission.
