Quantification of tuber damage with regard to the marketable quality of potato production in the Czech Republic

Original language description

Poster. 22nd triennial Conference EAPR 2024. Abstracts compendium. Oslo, 7-12.7.2024, Norway. Posterlist - Poster No. 87-01. In the 2022/2023 season, the downward trend in potato production in the Czech Republic continued, with an estimated 738 000 tonnes of potatoes produced. The total consumption in the country was estimated at 1 104 000 tonnes, with total losses, either from storage or tubers in the form of waste, estimated at 127 000 tonnes. At least 653 000 t of potatoes were stored in the country in different types of storage and in different types of storage. In the context of a research on tuber damage in a 3000 tonnes potato storage facility, we focused on bulk potato storage. We addressed the quantification of damage occurring in the placed samples with respect to the marketable quality of potato production. The methodology evaluated quality parameters in three tuber size categories 0-35 mm, 35-55 mm and above 55 mm. Based on the quality parameters of consume potatoes, four basic categories were identified - no defects, mechanically damaged, affected by storage diseases and affected by pests. The samples were placed at different distances from the fan of the storage box, which uses a sub-grid ventilation system. All this took place in a farmer storage in the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands. With regard to the varieties stored by the commercial producer, the DALI variety was chosen.
