Abstract
Wind conditions in the years 1998–2003 were assessed based on the data obtained from the meteorological station in Jadwisin near Warsaw. Number of hours when south west to north west and north east to south east winds exceeding 2 m/s and 4 m/s at atmospheric air temperature below 3°C was registered every day during long-term (November to March) storage of potato tubers. The temperature of atmospheric air below 3°C is optimal for ventilation of storage house for table potatoes. In the storage buildings equipped with a mixed ventilation system the air temperature below 0°C can be used. The following conclusions can be drawn from the study: 1. The use of natural ventilation to ensure the proper temperature during storage of table potatoes (5°C) can save up to 70% of the time needed for ventilation in the long storage season. 2. In a storage house with a natural ventilation system using wind, the most effective location for air vent is that on the west and east sides of the building.
