Abstract

A potato storage should have sufficient but not an excessive amount of insulation for maintaining the desired temperature and humidity. A vapor barrier on the interior surface of the walls and ceiling is essential for keeping the insulation dry and effective. The fans and air distribution system should be designed to meet the requirements during the various stages of the entire storage period. During cold weather a relatively simple inexpensive system may be used for automatically controlling the temperature and humidity inside a storage. The system can be installed in most existing storages with minor modifications.
