Abstract
In Poland about 7–9 mln tons of potatoes are stored in traditional clamps. There are some disadvantages of these clamps: big changes of temperature during a storage period, difficult approach in winter time and high expenses of labour. In an experiment 4 different types of covers were compared to the traditional clamp. The covers were: canvas, fibretex, mineral wool and straw, in different combinations. The following parameters have been estimated: changes of temperature, storage losses and cost of building. The most constant temperature was in the clamp (type E) covered by fibretex, mineral wool and canvas. There were no significant differences among clamps in such parameters as natural losses and diseases. The costs of building were different for different kinds of clamps. The smallest costs (33 PLN/ton) were sustained for the traditional clamp and the clamps of type B (fibretex — straw — fibretex) and type D (fibretex — straw — canvas). These types of clamps may be recommended for farmers.
