| Abstract | ||
| The effect of potato cultiver, temperature and gamma rays on the natural characteristics of stored varieties of potato tuber (Desiree, Diamont and Romano) were carried out at cold storage Unit /Dept. of Horticulture/College of Agric, Univ. of Baghdad during spring season of 2002. The gamma doses were (0, 80, 120 and 160) Gray while the storage temperatures were 5 and15 C. The results of this study illustrated that the Romano tubers were firmer than those tubers of the other two cultivers Diamont and Desiree at the end of reconditioning period. Moreover, the Romano cultiver showed lowest percent of losses in weight, sprouting and microbial decay at the end of reconditioning period in comparison with other two cultivers. Furthermore, storage at 5C decreased the percentage of losses in weight, microbial decay and sprouting during storage period. Finally the results revealed that the treatment with gamma rays did not effect any of the natural characteristics studied of the three varieties of potato tubers (Firmer, Weight loss, Sprouting and Microbial decay). | ||
