The use of gas phase detection and monitoring of potato soft rot infection in store
Soft rot caused mainly by the bacterium Pectobacterium carotovorum is a major cause of potato post-harvest storage losses. This work reports on pre-symptomatic detection and monitoring of soft rot under laboratory and commercial research store conditions by means of an array of gas sensorsResults showed that a number of gas sensors could detect and monitor early soft rot development with considerable accuracy.
