Abstract

Rot-proofing treatments at the Central Lab. T.N.O., Delft [cf. 38, 59], ensured better protection of bags buried in soil than bags containing potatoes stored at 5 degrees C. for 4 months. Application of D.D.M. (2, 2'-methylene bis (4-chlorophenol) compound)+Cu-fixation [cf. 38, 146] was most effective but the most expensive, while Cu-8-oxyquinolinolate, tributyltin, D.D.M. alone, and cuprammonium (the cheapest of all) were creditable. On the other hand, Cu-naphthenate and lauryl-pentachlorophenol are not recommended, the latter affecting the taste of the stored potatoes. Freshly impregnated bags should not be used, since potatoes may be damaged by the volatile solvents of the fungicides. (Abstract retrieved from CAB Abstracts by CABI’s permission)
