Potato ethylene generator

ripening

More tubers on your potato plants Good storage conditions are indispensable for high quality seed potatoes. Ethylene gas is a plant hormone that affects plant growth and plant stress responses. Ethylene gas causes temporary stress in your seed potatoes and blocks the apical dominance of the germs. Restrain has optimised this natural effect, so that your seed potatoes can develop up to 40 percent more sprouts and 20 percent more tubers in some varieties on your potato plants. Key benefits of ethylene gas If you treat seed potatoes in your store with ethylene for at least 90 days, you will significantly improve the yield from your seed potatoes. More yield When using Restrain during storage, your seed potatoes will develop more sprouts. The top sprout dominance is broken and the sprouts spread more evenly over the potato. Your plants produce more tubers and you get more yield from your harvest. Cost effective Restrain is the most cost effective method to improve the yield of your seed potatoes. You do not need to invest in expensive machinery. No store modifications are required. Residue free Ethylene is a natural gas that is also released during fruit ripening. The natural ethylene gas is safe, suitable for organic farming and leaves no residue in your seed potatoes or storage space. Warmer storage possible An additional advantage of the ethylene treatment is that you can store your seed potatoes warmer than normal, without the risk of premature sprouting. This will save you energy costs.
