What causes Tuber Rot?
Fungal/Bacterial infection in waterlogged or heavy soils.
How to treat Tuber Rot
Improve soil drainage by incorporating organic matter or planting in raised beds to prevent waterlogging. For stored tubers, ensure they are cured properly and kept in a dry, well-ventilated area, checking monthly for any signs of rot. If rot is found, cut away affected parts with a clean knife and air dry.
How to prevent Tuber Rot
Plant in well-drained soil and avoid over-irrigating dormant tubers.
