The study also showed that peeling removed 91–98% and washing 33–47%. Residues of chlorpropham were detected in the boiled potatoes, in the boiling water, in the French-fried potatoes and in the frying oil. According to this study, the theoretical dose for a 20 kg infant eating 100g of crude-peeled tuber would be 0.00018 to 0.00342 mg/kg.
Storing potatoes properly is key to preventing sprouting: Make sure potatoes are stored in a cool, dark, and dry location, like a pantry or cellar, with an ideal temperature between 45 to 50 ...
Copper ions can kill pathogen cells on plant surfaces, but once a pathogen enters host plant tissue, it is no longer susceptible to copper treatments at the prescribed concentrations. The prescribed copper ion concentrations lack post-infection activity. Higher copper ion concentrations harm the host plant. [7]
Potato cyst nematodes are important economically due to the fact that they can substantially reduce crop yields. Globodera pallida are able to cause 80% yield loss in a potato field if left untreated. [8] On a more global scale, the Australian potato industry is worth about AUD$500 million yearly which equates to $340 million U.S. dollars. [7] [9]
