Diffused Light Storage (DLS) is a post-harvest technology which uses natural indirect light instead of low temperature to control excessive sprout growth of potato seeds, extend their storage life, reduce the associated storage losses and improve productivity of the potato crop. It is a low cost method which provides a new opportunity for farmers to preserve the quality of seed potato. Quality Declared Planting Material (QDPM) is a value added product and must be stored in DLS.</p> <p><b>Project website</b>: <a href="http://africa-rising.net">http://africa-rising.net</a></p> <p> <b>Project start date</b>: 01/01/2014 </p> <p><b> Project end date </b>: 06/01/2014 </p>Agricultural Sciencesqualitative analysisquantitative analysispotatoesfarming systemsETHIOPIAEAST AFRICAAFRICAEnglish2014-07-30IFPRI-KMSharma, Kalpana (International Potato Center (CIP))Aragaw, Abiyot (International Potato Center (CIP))Hailemariam, Gebrehiwot (International Potato Center (CIP))Gebreselassie, Solomon (International Potato Center (CIP))Jogo, Wellington (International Potato Center (CIP))Schulz, Steffen (International Potato Center (CIP))United States Agency for International Development (USAID)2017-07-202014-01-012014-06-01Experimental dataEthiopiaLemoEthiopiaTigrayMaichew<h1> IFPRI DATAVERSE TERMS OF USE </h1> By using this website and any of the materials made available through it, you agree to abide by the Terms of Use of IFPRI Dataverse.
