In extensive tests conducted around the world, SmartBlock has been found to be highly efficacious for providing excellent sprout control on many potato varieties. It works under varied storage conditions. Ideal for short and long-term potato sprout control. Acts exclusively on the rapidly growing meristematic sprout tissue. Soon after treatment, tuber respiration increases, which rapidly metabolizes reducing sugars. SmartBlock restores fry color and dormancy to potatoes. Within 1 to 4 days post- treatment, small to medium sprouts present a burned-out appearance. Longer sprouts may take 7 to 10 days to fully blacken.
