Abstract

Excerpts from the report: As a result of previous research, sweetpotatoes shipped to market are treated with sodium o-phenylphenate tetrahydrate (SOPP) to control decay, particularly soft rot, during marketing. Reduction of decay through use of SOPP has encouraged consumer packaging and the use of corrugated paper shipping containers. The tests reported here were to evaluate possible improvements in the use of SOPP and compare it with other potentially useful treatments which might be more effective and easier to use, would eliminate or reduce chemical residues, or would be less toxic to the sweetpotatoes. Three approaches were used: (1) Modification of the SOPP treatment, (2) evaluation of other treatments, and (3) improvement of in-transit conditions to reduce injury and subsequent decay of the roots.
