Abstract
A number of readily available volatile compounds have been tested, at concentrations of not greater than 100 μg/l in air, as inhibitors of sprouting of stored potatoes. Some of these compounds were found to be as effective, on a small scale, as the nonyl alcohol used commercially. No compounds of exceptional merit were found.Keywords
