✦ Synopsis

Studies were carried out to investigate the microorganisms associated with the spoilage of Solunum mberosum tubers in 6 states of Nigeria. Microbial spoilage was found to be caused by Fusuriuni soluni, Rhzzopus oryzae, R. stoionifer, Erwiniu sp., Aspergillus niger and Allernaria longipes. The spoilage caused by the first 4 organisms was the most important with F. solani producing the highest percentage loss in potato tubers. The effect of temperature on the growth of 4 of the spoilage organisms in liquid culture and on spoilage of tuber is presented and discussed.
