The fight against potato sprouting should begin at the moment of placing it into storage.
We tell you what to put in bags of potatoes to prevent sprouting.
How to Prevent Potatoes from Sprouting
First and foremost, potatoes should be stored in a cool, dark and dry place (cellar, basement).
Without observing this condition, potatoes will not last long, and no tricks will help.
The temperature depends on the intended use of the potato. For food potatoes, the ideal temperature is +4-6 degrees, for technical potatoes - +5-8 degrees.
Raw materials for chips can be stored at a temperature of +7-12 degrees.
Secondly, storing potatoes with beets (in layers) helps prevent them from sprouting.
Also, potatoes will not sprout if you put chestnuts or acorns in the bags.
