Controlled humidification for cold stored potatoes provides extensive benefits for the stored crop. During ventilation, air can potentially dehydrate the crop. As air moves through the stored potatoes, it picks up heat, and in so doing lowers the relative humidity in the storage environment. As the air circulates, it absorbs and carries more moisture from the air pockets around the potatoes. However, by managing and controlling the moisture content of the air through humidification, the Relative Humidity RH can be increased, while reducing moisture loss from the stored produce.

Managing and controlling relative humidity and temperature, in the storage environment is very important when it comes to potato storage.

In a properly controlled environment, with the correct levels of Relative Humidity and temperature,  potatoes can be stored for  months at a time without compromising their quality.
