Abstract
During potato harvest, respiration becomes a crucial metabolic process. Its effectiveness determines how well a potato survives storage. Learn more about the aerobic respiration process, its physiological consequences, and how to correctly measure respiration in this concise and useful bulletin, the first in the Potato Postharvest series. Usually unavailable in convenient formats (typically scattered in the scientific literature), the compiled information, which includes real-world examples, will help you to maintain healthier potatoes and/or manage more consistent yields.
