The length of time for which sweet potatoes may be stored is highly dependent on temperature and relative humidity. Storage in temperatures lower than 10 °C (50 °F) will cause chill injury in sweet potatoes. [3] This is characterized by discoloration of the insides of the tuber, which can range from brown to black instead of the usual orange. [3]
Sweet potatoes were planted in Shōgun Tokugawa Yoshimune's private garden. [45] It was first introduced to Korea in 1764. [46] Kang P'il-ri and Yi Kwang-ryŏ embarked on a project to grow sweet potatoes in Seoul in 1766, using the knowledge of Japanese cultivators they learned in Tongnae starting in 1764. The project succeeded for a year but ...
Environmental conditions such as temperature and nutrient levels are important for C. fimbriata's success. Specifically, temperatures ranging from 23-27 degrees Celsius encourage sporulation and disease growth. [5] Also, pre-sprouting roots at warm temperature favors disease and should be avoided when growing sweet potatoes.

A sweet potato casserole recipe might call for three pounds, or about 48 ounces, of sweet potatoes. By Burgess’s estimation, that should equate to 9 to 12 servings. By Burgess’s estimation ...
Growing degrees (GDs) is defined as the number of temperature degrees above a certain threshold base temperature, which varies among crop species. The base temperature is that temperature below which plant growth is zero. GDs are calculated each day as maximum temperature plus the minimum temperature divided by 2, minus the base temperature.
Potatoes grow best under temperate conditions. [93] Temperatures above 30 °C (86 °F) have negative effects on potato crops, from physiological damage such as brown spots on tubers, to slower growth, premature sprouting, and lower starch content. [94] These effects reduce crop yield, affecting both the number and the weight of tubers.
Preparing raw sweet potatoes: Start by washing the sweet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Peel them if you'd like, though the skin is edible. For thin, even slices, use a ...
