  • Method of controlling on potato using lower alkyl naphthalene
    Patent number: 10842150
    Abstract: A method of controlling Fusarium disease on potato, wherein the method comprises contacting potato tuber with a composition comprising lower alkyl naphthalene. The growth of Fusarium is controlled by treating the potato tuber with a composition comprising lower alkyl naphthalene.

  • Compositions and methods for controlling sprouting of stored potatoes using allyl isothiocyanate
    Patent number: 10806156
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for treating stored potatoes to inhibit the growth of sprouts, and/or to “burn” sprouts, include the use of allyl isothiocyanate (“AITC”), which may be generated from exposing a Brassica meal powder (i.e., a powder derived from a member of the mustard plant family) to water. The AITC generated may provided an all-natural sprout-inhibiting agent that is effective to inhibit sprouting in stored potatoes for several weeks, if not months. Alternatively, the AITC may be synthetically produced. The potatoes may be exposed to the AITC while air containing the AITC is circulated through the potato pile, after which the potato storage facility may be ventilated to expose the potatoes to fresh air. The exposure of the potatoes to AITC may be repeated.

  • TREATMENT OF CROPS WITH A LOWER ALKYL NAPHTHALENE TO ALTER CELL CYCLE AND WATER REGULATION
    Publication number: 20140200144
    Abstract: The instant invention relates to identification of certain genes in potatoes, which are activated by treatment of said potatoes with a preselected dosage of a lower alkyl naphthalene, especially 1,4 dimethyl naphthalene. The activation of these genes produces a dormancy-like state in said potatoes. Particular embodiments relate to the identification of dehydration-resistant genes in said potatoes, which were also activated by said treatment with a lower alkyl naphthalene, such as 1,4 dimethyl naphthalene.
