Good advice is published in a note concerning a hraniye of root crops.
ROOT CROPS. The optimum temperature for storage of 0-1 degrees (tolerances of 0,5 degrees), humidity of air should be high 95 %. The increase in the atmosphere of concentration of carbon dioxide to 3-5 % that is observed in carrots storage time in open plastic bags or bags for withering prevention is admissible.
Technology of storage of root crops in burtax and trenches same as well as potatoes. Carrots, parsley, a celery, turnip are better for putting in a trench, peresloyenny sand. On a trench bottom in width in 60-100 cm and depth of 50-80 cm fill 3-5 cm of sand and evenly display root crops, fill up sand of 2-3 cm and again root crops. Thus fill a trench on all depth, without reaching the upper edge on 5-10 see. From above a trench dim the earth, a layer of 20 cm so that its level smoothly raised to the center for all length, forming a low earth shaft. After production cooling to 2-3 degrees a trench cover straw and the earth. Carrots, parsley, a parsnip and a celery well remain also in cellars and cellars. Them stack piramidka and pereslaivayut sand. The size of a piramidka near a basis 1 on 1 m, and in the top part 0,8 on 0,8 m
Onions and garlic are stored at temperature of-2-3 degrees and relative humidity of air of 70-75 %. Them place in storages, on racks with trellised boards in height of 30-50 cm or in a granary 70-100 see. It is possible to keep also them in small boxes – trays. Small parties of onions and garlic can be kept in wreaths or in the small mesh sacks suspended in a cool and dry room.
