Biox-M helps in a challenging storage season

More growers are turning to Biox-M to clean up stores where spuds are sprouting, other potatoes have eyes blinking and some crops are just pleased to be indoors.

Biox-M manages a range of situations well, setting up crops and stores for the remainder of the storage season. But ongoing store management still requires care and attention to detail, of course, where crops face differing sprouting pressures.

Biox-M is a naturally occurring and truly sustainable product, in widespread use in the food Industry. It is approved for use on organic potatoes as well as on conventional in store crops.

With no harvest interval or maximum residue level (MRL) beyond the one-day mandatory withholding period after treatment, Biox-M is also ideal for using on crops for which the date of movement is uncertain,

It is flexible in terms of application timing, results in minimal weight loss in store, and doesn’t leave persistent residues in the fabric of stores and storage boxes – including those which may be used afterwards for storing other crops or seed potatoes,

The only 100% natural and sustainable sprout control for potatoes, Biox-M is effective at higher storage temperatures, and reduces the risk of acrylamide development when the crop is processed.

It sequesters carbon during growth, removing 1 tonne of CO2 for every 1,000t of potatoes treated. Effectively carbon neutral, we believe this means it should be a component of the sustainability plan for every farm and customer.
