Abstract
Summary. The long‐term storage of carrots grown in the U.K. at 32°F resulted in more fungal rotting than at 34°F. It is suggested that this is due to a form of low temperature injury. At temperatures higher than 34°F rotting developed more rapidly and there was increased growth of shoots and rootlets. For storage up to 2 months temperatures in the range 32–37°F are not critical. For longer periods of storage 34°F would appear to be the optimum temperature.
