Science - Agriculture / potato growing
Swedish term or phrase: blötkokning
Context: "För färskpotatis är det främst blötkokning som kan vålla problem och i figur 2 redovisas blötkokningen för försöksledet 75 kg kväve. Det fanns ingen skillnad i blötkokning mellan försöksleden 75 respektive 100 kg kväve".

Another example from the Internet: "Blötkokning kan bero på för mycket kväve. Ofta beror blötkokningen dock på att potatisen är omogen eftersom bladmögel har stoppat tillväxten".

(Actually, I translate into Russian, but a translation into English will also do).

  -> Thank you very much!

agree  George Hopkins: Cooked rather than boiled. Because cooked can involve other forms of heating when preparing food.

  -> Why? - Thank you for your answer, but the test procedure is boiling in water at normal atmospheric pressure.
