This project tested the efficacy of alternative sprout suppressants that had been identified by overseas researchers and to collect residue data in the event that these products may be registered in Australia. Potatoes were stored in modified refrigerated contained over a six-month period and the efficacy of the sprout suppressants and quality of the stored tubers were monitored throughout the trial. The project confirmed the overseas development of Talent and 1-4 Sight as two potential alternative sprout suppressants.
