Proper tuber maturity at harvest helps produce high-quality potatoes:
• A mature tuber has improved skin set, bruise resistance and increased storage life
• Potatoes with proper skin set maintain better skin color, lose less weight in storage and are more resistant to soft rot
Up your harvest game. Get a cleaner, healthier crop and easier harvesting.
Use Aim EC herbicide and make your harvest more straightforward and trouble-free.

The book’s extensive coverage describes 37 different fruits and vegetables from different groups that were stored at five specific temperatures and photographed daily after specified elapsed periods of time.
