store without allowing the formation of soil cones

'Stortkegel' refers to the 'soil cones' formed between potatoes when they are stored in a barn ('inschuren') which lead to poor ventilation.

An explanation:
http://www.agripress.nl/_STUDIOEMMA_UPLOADS/downloads/32_0_1...
"Vul de bewaarplaats door het maken van terrassen. Dit voorkomt dat knollen vanaf de volledige hoogte naar beneden rollen en zo alsnog beschadigingen oplopen. Tevens verkleint deze methode de kans op stortkegels met veel grond waar ventilatielucht moeilijk door kan."
"In lagen inschuren voorkomt veel terugrollen en vorming van stortkegels."

In English:
https://edepot.wur.nl/411164:
"Large quantities of fine, loose soil between the potatoes impede ventilation."
"This prevents the formation of soil cones - i.e. local accumulations of large quantities of soil, often accompanied by a few small tubers."

In Dutch & English:
https://edepot.wur.nl/411571:
"Kolonisatie van blanke aardappels en aardappelspruiten door Rhizoctonia solani na twee maanden verblijf in besmette grond afkomstig van een „stortkegel" van een poterbewaarplaats.
"Colonisation of clean tubers and sprouts of potato with Rhizoctonia solani after storage during two months in contaminated soil from a soil cone in a storage house."
