Storage Crop Protection

In the potato industry, CIPC (Chlorpropham) applied by thermal fogging system in aerosol form is the standard for inhibiting sprouts. Since the 1950s, CIPC has been unmatched for inhibiting peeps and sprouts because of its effectiveness and affordability in the market place.

Clove oil, the active ingredient in Sprout Torch®, is a natural compound potato sprout inhibitor. In just a few days following its application, most visible sprouts and peeps turn black, dry up and ultimately drop away.

Pressure bruise, shrink and sprout control are quality issues that storage managers face every year. Incorporating 1,4SIGHT® into your storage treatment program can provide unprecedented results in managing these common challenges:

For superior seed management, look to 1,4SEED®. It helps manage seed vigor, sprouting and stem number in all common varieties of seed potatoes. Its action restores dormancy, providing temporary and fully-reversible sprout suppression.

SPUD GUARD 2 EC is an emulsified CIPC spray that prepares potatoes for shipment. The solution is injected right into the water flow of the pre-pack wash.

Deliver better potatoes to your customer with 1,4SHIP®. This ready-to-use, aerosol-dormancy enhancer treats fresh potatoes after packing—right in the shipping vehicle.

Industrial Ventilation has teamed up with O3 Solutions to incorporate the latest, most reliable, and highly-efficient, integrated ozone system on the market.

Tsunami® is formulated to achieve a reduction of microorganisms, and is used in wash water in packing sheds and in humidified air in potato storage. Tsunami has a low reactivity with organics and soils, assuring a consistent dosage is available for microbial control.

Chlorine Dioxide is a broad-spectrum biocide that is effective in controlling late blight and other diseases on potatoes in storage. Chlorine Dioxide’s disinfecting and oxidizing qualities allow it to suppress the growth of bacteria.

Bio-Save® is an EPA registered, US-patented, certified-organic, post-harvest, biological-decay-control agent. Bio-Save® is labeled for post-harvest applications for the control and prevention of disease on a variety of fruits and vegetables.

Jet-Oxide™ is a peroxyacetic acid (PAA), certified organic, post-harvest sanitizer and industrial disinfectant. It’s an excellent post-harvest treatment, ideal for use in the sanitation of fruits and vegetables during processing and storage, and for the treatment of raw, unprocessed fruits and vegetables.

Jet-Ag™ is a broad-spectrum, peroxyacetic acid (PAA), agricultural sanitizer registered as a certified organic fungicide, bactericide, and algaecide for agricultural use, horticultural use and post-harvest-storage fogging.

Fruit Gard™ (Chlorine dioxide, CI02) is created when sodium chlorite (NaClO2) mixes with a stabilized acid zeolite impregnate. CI02 is a water-soluble oxidizer, proven to reduce spoilage organisms and pathogenic bacteria on stored produce.
