Maintaining carrot quality post harvest Black root rot of carrots is one of the main quality problems during distribution at point of sale. Soil borne fungi of the Chalara sp. are responsible for this carrot disease. They are found in most of the soils in the Swiss carrot production areas. This trial investigated on a commercial level the influence of soil contamination by Chalara sp., use of plastic liner in the storage containers, management of temperature and storage conditions as well as washing procedures on carrot quality and yield. In most of the storehouses the use of plastic liner improved yield. This study has shown that adhering to state-of-the-art storage regimes and using fresh water in the washing process make it possible to prevent black root rot development during the distribution phase of carrots produced in soils contaminated with Chalara sp.
