Potato And Onion Storage
The objective during storage is to maintain the quality of the crop as near to the harvested condition as possible.
Tonnes sold, sale price and profit are all directly related to quality.
Onion storage with refrigerated cooling to dry the crop and maintain low humidity in the store.
The periods in store is now as important as the growing and harvesting of the same crop, therefore the equipment used and the management of the stored crop are very important. Only when storage systems are well designed can the required quality be achieved. Farm Electronics design onion and potato storage systems using both bulk and box storage techniques. Systems incorporate fresh air ventilation with air mixing supplemented by refrigerated cooling.
