Abstract:

We focus on environmentally friendly approaches for postharvest storage of root, tuber and bulb vegetables. A fast curing method, using heat and high humidity, was developed to improve skin stability in onions. Partially effective doses of nonchemical methods for disease management can be combined to obtain synergistic and effective control of postharvest diseases in carrots. The use of essential oils for sprouting control is effective and necessary in an integrated method to preserve potato quality in storage. Effort should be made to replace chemical treatments used today in root, tuber and bulb vegetables with integrated environmentally friendly methods.
