Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: A comparative investigation of the microbial susceptibility of two varieties of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) tubers was conducted across two local government areas (LGAs), Birnin Kebbi and Maiyama, in Kebbi State, Nigeria. The objective was to identify the mold and bacterial species responsible for postharvest spoilage and to determine the variety and locality associated with optimal production and storage potential. Microbial populations were enumerated on Nutrient Agar and Potato Dextrose Ag
