Management of rots, both in the field and post-harvest, is an ongoing challenge for potato producers.

Applied Horticultural Research has released an interesting podcast regarding potato soft rot, accessible on Soundcloud.

In the podcast, agronomists Marc Hinderager and Dr Pieter Van Nieuwenhuyse discuss a recent trial that was set up to explore the effect of sanitisers and/or drying on the development of post-harvest bacterial soft rot in potatoes.
