COLDAHOLD HELPING YOU

We are here to look after all your hard work

Seed potatoes, and potatoes in general are a treasure. After months of hard work and many dollars later, the last thing you want is unnecessary weight loss and a deterioration of quality. These negatives start the second you loose control of the environmental parameters such as temperature fluctuations, humidity variations, excessive CO2 build up, moisture loss and wind.

Storage Tips

We are here to look after all your hard work

A short video on the importance of storage

1. Equalise the potatoes - Harvesting starts early and finishes late. Through the day you may encounter several different ranges of temperature. Once harvested it is important to get the potatoes to storage asap. Once at the storage centre, the potatoes should be equalised over night so that the

2. Ventilation and Air Flow - Good ventilation and high air flow protects the potatoes in storage from a host of problems. Hot pockets(Bacteria and virus breeding grounds) are prevented with high volume air flow. Allowing the potato to breath is equally important. Potatoes are living and respiring all the time. Maintaining fresh moving air flow allows this respiration process to be more efficient

3. Wound Healing - The first 14 days of the potato storage is critical. Maintenance of air flow and steady equal temperatures allow any harvest wounds, soft spots of the potato , and handling and mechanical damage to dry and heal. When you have a small cut on your arm and you blow it, it dries and heals quicker than if you were to let it heal without added air flow.

4. Don't shock the potatoes - Moving potatoes from hot conditions to cold conditions is not ideal. Any environmental and weather changes in storage should be gradual.
