Potato Dust
When you store and ship potatoes you can’t afford sprouting. Annand Propham® Potato Dust prevents sprouting and keeps potatoes fresh and fleshy. Propham® preserves their natural, pleasant flavour, protecting tubers against loss of weight. Propham® is easily applied to harvested potatoes. Packaged in 25kg bags for commercial use.

Discard rotten or damaged ones before storage treatment.
-
Apply Propham® Potato Dust lightly to bottom of sacks and containers, then sprinkle potatoes layer by layer. Cover stored potatoes with a tarpaulin or sacking to enable volatile substances in Propham® Potato Dust to give maximum effect.
