Influence of different terms of sowing and storage mediums on disease affecting the mother carrots roots

Abstract

The article presents data on the effect of different sowing times and storage medium on the disease affecting the mother carrot roots of Litvinka variety. It has been established that the damage of root crops during storage largely depends on the showing time and storage medium. Analysis of the experimental data on the use of sand and sawdust as a filler in storage of root crops showed that the damage of root crops in the sand was much lower than in sawdust in all variants of the experiment. The number of diseased root crops that were stored in the sand was in 1,9-2,7 times less compared to the root crops, were stored in sawdust.
