Abstract
Plots of potato plants were watered to field capacity one day before h arvest on three dates, and tubers from watered and non-watered plots w ere stored at 7 degrees C and 95% RH immediately or after curing at 15 degrees C either at 80% or 95% RH. Watering increased the severity of silver scurf after storage when tubers were not cured. Curing at 80% RH decreased the disease and amounts were similar from watered and non -watered plants. Black dot was increased by watering whereas black scu rf and golding blotch were decreased.
