Abstract

Growers can minimize tuber bruising during harvesting by eliminating all of the soil with the primary chain. Then keep the other chains as full of tubers as possible without spill-out, rollback, or back-feeding. This bulletins explains in detail, with tables and mathematical equations, how to achieve less tuber bruising by adjusting the harvesting equipment. 8 pages.
