STORAGE OF RED BEETS |

| Abstract:
The influence of harvest method and storage temperature was studied during some years. It appeared that mechanical harvest had a negative influence on storage quality. At 0–1°C more black spot and rot was found than at 6–7°C. At 6–7°C there was more corking of the skin. In general the quantities of black spot, rot and corking of the skin increased with extending storage time. The influence of origin and year was detectable. A storage temperature of 3–4°C is recommended now. | |
