How to prevent potatoes from sprouting during storage? Practical tips shared

To prevent potatoes from sprouting during storage, you can spray the field with maleic hydrazide at a concentration of 2-3 g/kg in the late growth stage (that is, 2 to 3 weeks before harvest); you can also spray the whole plant with 2,4,5-T at a concentration of 0.5-1 g/kg 1 week before harvest to extend the dormancy period and storage period; in the late growth stage, mixed spraying of the whole plant with maleic hydrazide at a concentration of 3 g/kg and 2,4,5-T at a concentration of 0.3 g/kg has a better effect on preventing sprouting. In addition, after the potatoes are harvested, spray methyl naphthaleneacetate onto dry soil, then mix the potatoes with the dry soil, using 10-15 g of methyl naphthaleneacetate per 500 kg of potato tubers. Or use 1.4 kg of potato sprout inhibitor per 1000 kg of potatoes, apply the sprout inhibitor evenly on the surface of the potato pile, and it can prevent them from sprouting.
