ISHS Acta Horticulturae 38: Symposium on Vegetable Storage

STORAGE QUALITY OF CARROTS AFTER DIFFERENT METHODS OF HARVESTING

Author:   J. Apeland
Abstract:
Results from storage experiments carried out at 0°C during four seasons indicate that manually harvested carrots had a superior keeping quality (after 5 to 7 months storage) compared with mechanically harvested carrots. No definite conclusion is drawn from the four machines which were compared. The keeping quality was reduced by increasing mechanical treatment and infection of serious carrot diseases in the fields.
