Page 3 - Killing agents that resulted in an efficient kill of the potato vines reduced the amount of skinning, and in most instances, the amount of bruising during harvesting and storing of the crop. In general, treatments that killed the vines most rapidly gave the greatest decrease in susceptibility to injury, but the relationship in most cases was not close, and probably would be of little value for prediction.

Page 4 - In most instances, killing the vines prematurely reduced specific gravity slightly. The longer the interval between vine -killing and harvest the greater the reduction in specific gravity. In...
