| Abstract: | Potato transplants (Solanum tuberosum) were harvested and stored at 1.7, 7.2, 12.8, 15.6 and 18.3°C between 4 and 8 days. The transplants were evaluated after storage for leaf color and drop, wilt, tuberization, and stolonization. After transplanting, the plants were evaluated for survival. At 1.7 and 7.2°C storage, the leaves were greener with less drop than at the higher temperatures. During storage above 7.2°C, the development of tubers and stolons continued. Plant survival was generally higher at 1.7, 7.2 and 12.8°C than at 15.6 and 18.3°C. |
