United States Department of Agriculture experts urge early seed selection from the field to judge vigor and disease resistance. Pick ears when growth is complete but sap remains, dry quickly with husks opened and ears hung to avoid sprouting and mildew. Fall plowing depends on local conditions to conserve moisture and improve soil fertility.
Ohio expert J B Keil from the Ohio experiment station urges dry cool and well ventilated storage for produce. Whitewash sprayed walls with copper sulphate help destroy decay germs. Ventilation keeps storage cool with open nights and closed days to extend apple shelf life by three to four weeks.
Different classes of vegetables require separate storage. Sweet potato squash and pumpkins store dry and warm rather than cold. Potatoes cabbage beets turnips and like items store in moist air and near freezing temperatures about 84 degrees F. Skin texture affects moisture loss and storage needs.
