Natural loss of biomass of early-ripening potato depending on variety and soil type during short-time storage

The storage of yield of potato depends on quality of potato tuber. During storage the respiration process and evaporation are the cause of natural loss of potato tuber biomass. In our experiments, the loss of mass depended on variety, tuber size, and place of growing. During first day of storage, the natural loss of biomass of cv. «Rosara» was 2,9-3.1%, and cv. «Udacha» - 1,9-6,3%.
