TL;DRAbstract
The storage quality of potatoes was investigated at various time intervals after gamma irradiation to 3700, 7000, and 27,000 rep. Sprouting and decay in good organoleptic conditions are prevented beyond 7000 rep. Beyond 7000 rep onion sprouting is not prevented but sprout growth is retarded and the onions remain firm. (T.R.H.)
