Potato is the fourth most important food crop globally after maize, rice, and wheat, with about 390 Mt produced annually. Rich in carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, and essential nutrients, it plays a key role in food security due to its short growth cycle and high caloric yield. However, postharvest losses remain substantial, ranging from 20–40% of annual production, with storage accounting for nearly 30% of these losses.

Conventional storage systems depend on controlled temperature, relative humidity, gas regulation, and chemical sprout inhibitors such as chlorpropham, which are costly and associated with environmental, health, and regulatory concerns. Magnetic field (MF) technology offers a novel, residue-free, and low-cost alternative that may suppress sprouting and provide antimicrobial effects. This study evaluates MF as a solution to improve sustainability and affordability in potato storage systems.
