AB - This study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of harvesting potatoes into water on tuber injury and to determine if the operation was commercially feasible. It was found that tubers harvested into water had fewer and lighter colored blackspots than tubers harvested into conventional flat-bed or chain-conveyor bulk potato trucks. Harvesting into water also reduced external tuber injury demonstrating that truck beds may not need elaborate padding.
