Last Updated: January 07, 2008

View as web page


Stack crates or baskets of sweet potatoes in a storage space. Place them 6 to 8 inches off the floor and 12 to 15 inches from the walls to allow for adequate ventilation. Curing requires 7 to 10 days if temperature can be maintained at 80o to 85o F with 70% to 90% relative humidity. After curing is complete, keep potatoes in a place as near 55o F as possible with relative humidity of 85%.
