Description

Type
Short course
It is concerned primarily with two main areas relevant to best practice: The first of these is postharvest technology, which explores aspects of potato physiology and biochemistry, and how these relate to dormancy. The course then looks at how these can be applied to storage, waste and quality control. The second main area of the course is a consideration of key diseases and other conditions in potato such as blackheart, blackleg and soft rots, and how these diseases can be managed. In addition to this, the role of plant growth regulators, ethylene supplementation and choice of sprout suppression are examined.
