Grade potatoes and remove infected tubers before they are put in storage. Monitor storage facilities for "hot spots" which indicate the start of storage breakdown due to rots. Carefully manage air flow, humidity and temperature to reduce storage losses.

CONT

For safe storage soybeans should contain no more than 14% moisture. Apart from concerns with moisture content, the high oil content of soybeans raises other storage concerns. Ground, raw beans are the least stable form and are susceptible to storage breakdown especially in warm weather. Adequate heating of soybeans reduces natural enzyme levels and will make the beans more stable in storage.
