Normally potato sprout inhibition is done by using chemical inhibitors such as maleic hydrazide, CIPC or chlorpropham. Irradiation is also a good method of controlling the potato sprouts. With the increasing demand of organic potatoes, research is being carried out on organic control of potato sprouts. http://www.gnb.ca/0029/00290021-e.asp There are two types of sprout inhibitors registered for use on potatoes in Canada. One is applied as a foliar spray during the growing season while the other is applied as a fog throughout the ventilation system of a potato storage AFTER the potatoes have cured, or as a spray on packing lines.
