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).

: 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.

Several hits on Google for 'wet cooking'. Check to see if it fits your context.
Discussion
Blödkokning seems to be a disease or perhaps just a reaction to too much nitrogen while all the hits I found on wet cooking is just a method of cooking (as opposed to oven or steam)
I'm not at all convinced by 'wet cooking' but have no alternative to propose
