Company launches a new solution for potato sprouting

BioSafe Systems announces the introduction of ARRET Sprout Treatment for the 2015 potato storage season, a solution approved by the US EPA for fresh pack line treatments, as well as fogging treatment applications.

This new chemistry utilizes a green and sustainable fatty acid formulation that burns down sprouts on contact. This highly cost-efficient and effective product provides potato growers with a new tool to enhance quality and storage life of potatoes, in turn increasing yield and bottom line.

For in-storage potatoes, ARRET can be applied by any type of thermal fogger whenever potatoes are peeping, preventing any further sprouting. Its fatty acid chemistry is made up of completely food-safe ingredients and has no use restrictions. The treatment can also stop sprouts in their tracks on fresh-market potatoes and is easily dispersed in water and should be applied as a low-volume spray bar application when potatoes are being prepped for packaging.

BioSafe Systems, LLC has been a manufacturer and marketer of sustainable crop protection, water treatment and food safety solutions in the agrichemical segment.
