Naturally-occurring aromatic compounds inhibit potato tuber sprouting
1993
Vaughn, S.F. | Spencer, G.F.
Several naturally-occurring aromatic aldehydes and an aromatic alcohol inhibited potato cv. Norchip tuber sprouting when applied as volatiles or directly as emulsions. Exposure to volatiles was for 1 or 10 d prior to placement into fresh air. Salicylaldehyde inhibited sprouting of tubers exposed for 1 or more days; benzaldehyde, cinnamaldehyde, cuminaldehyde and thymol suppressed sprouting of tubers exposed for 10 d. Direct application of cinnamaldehyde and benzaldehyde as 1 and 10% emulsions completely inhibited sprouting 14 d after treatment without apparent tuber damage. These compounds applied without dilution inhibited sprouting but damaged tubers.
