Sodium Hypochlorite dip
After the tuber is free of soil, mix
100ml of Sodium Hypochlorite (Usually this is available with 10% active
ingredient, if the concentration is higher than that you'll have to
reduce the amount you mix into solution and vice versa) with 10 litres
of water. You can make a smaller amount if you have only one or two
tubers to treat of course! Totally immerse the tuber in the solution
for approximately 2 minutes. If there is an exposed shoot on the tuber
try to avoid dipping it in the solution, but if this can't be helped,
just be sure to rinse it very well after dipping. This solution will
kill any exposed roots. Thoroughly wash the tuber in lots of fresh water
and allow to dry. The purpose of this treatment is to destroy any adult
worms and eggs on the exterior of the tuber.
