Abstract
POTATOES ARE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS THAT ARE SENSIBLE TO AMBIENTAL FACTORS AND MANIPULATIONS, THUS TO MECHANICAL DAMAGES. THIS PAPAER HAS THE ROLE OF HIGHLITHING THE MAIN ELEMENTS FROM THE TECHNOLOGICAL FLOW OF HARVESTING, SORTING AND STORING OF POTATOES THAT MAY HAVE AN INFLUENCE ON THE APARITION AND EVOLUTION OF THE PHENOMENON OF MECHANICAL DAMAGE. THERE ARE BEEING STUDIED ANALYTICALLY THE TIPES OF MECHANICAL DAMAGES AT POTATOES, ASPECTS OFTEN SEEN IN THE AGRICULTURAL PRACTICE USED WITH THE ROLE OF AVOIDING DAMAGES OR REDUCING THEIR DEGREE OF EXERCISING, AS BOTH MODERN TECHNIQUES FOR THEIR IDENTIFICATION ON THE TECHNOLOGICAL FLOW AND IN THE LABORATORY.
