Variety, Developmental Stage and Dose Rate in Irradiation of the Potato
A dose of 3,000 rads/min was found to be more effective than a dose rate of 260 rads/min when the same dose was applied for the prevention of sprouting in potatoes exposed to Co60 gamma rays before cold storage. Larger radiation doses were required to prevent sprouting when the potatoes were exposed near the end of the dormancy period. Variations in response to radiation were observed in two strains of potatoes. (C.H.)
