Description: The effect of mechanical injury of potatoes was evaluated based on the postharvest market quality of the potatoes at 10 commercial facilities. The damage index, which is a measure of the extent of mechanical injury, was identified as the most signifi cant parameter affecting the grade of the potatoes entering storage. The magnitude of mechanical injury also had a significant effect on the percentage of marketable potatoes leaving storage. However, mechanical injury did not significantly influence weight loss of samples stored in the bulk storages.
