How is it possible to cause that root vegetables will survive whole period of storing in good form? Many factors are involved in it. The state of vegetables at the moment of harvest is crucial. They have to be health, without any mechanical damages or damages caused by pests. It is also necessary to prepare appropriately vegetable clamp, in which collected crops will be stored. Dimensions of such clamp should amount up to 60 cm deep and 50 cm wide. For obtaining even better conditions of storage it is worth to lay clamp with agrotextile. It will protect vegetables from activity of humidity and simultaneously it will not prevent air circulation.

It is necessary to remember that only healthy, mechanically not damaged, without traces of foraging pests vegetable roots are useful for storage in clamps. Usually root vegetables should be collected on cloudy days, without rainfall, in early morning hours. After collection they should be transported as soon as possible to the place of storage.
The most frequent and the easiest way of storage of vegetables are clamps. The depth of clamp should not exceed 60 cm and in areas with high level of ground water it should not reach its mirror, while the width should amount 40-50 cm. It is good to lay sides and bottom of clamp with agrotextile that thanks to its properties keeps proper conditions through limitation of permeation of water from bottom and sides with simultaneous ensuring appropriate permeability of air. It is possible to put into so prepared concavity vegetables laying them or pouring in delicately. It is necessary to remember that at least 35% vegetables should protrude over surface of ground making semicircular form. It is advisable to cover such heap with agrotextile and cover up delicately with soil about 5 cm. So prepared form can be left up to time of occurrence of light frost.
