ABSTRACT:
A method to promote skin healing of freshly dug potatoes is disclosed. Treatment of freshly dug potatoes with DMN either prior to or immediately after storage promotes rapid healing of cuts, abrasions and similar injuries to the potatoes. Liquid DMN may be sprayed on freshly dug potatoes in the field immediately after being dug, during transport from the field, while being conveyed into a storage facility or immediately after being stored. Once in a storage facility, the potatoes may also be treated with a vapor or mist of DMN either in addition to initial treatments or instead of earlier treatments. Further, such DMN treated potatoes may be stored under low humidity conditions without significant dehydration or softening. Stored potatoes first treated with DMN may be later advantageously treated with low levels of CIPC for effective sprout inhibition.
