Abstract ‘Jewel’ sweet potatoes [ Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam] were grown for 2 seasons on an Orangeburg loamy sand soil with 3 N sources, 3 K rates, and 2 N rates. NH 4 NO 3 and Ca(NO 3 ) 2 were equivalent in influence on root quality at harvest and storage, but NaNO 3 significantly reduced root dry matter content. With an increase in N rate from 101 to 202 kgN/ha, weight loss during storage increased and carbohydrate levels, dry matter content, and root intercellular space values decreased. An increase in K applications from 70 to 280 kg/ha reduced root dry matter content.
