They're specialists in sprout suppression for potatoes and onions, and also offer AccumulatR, a pre-planting seed potato treatment for seed multiplication and salad potato production.

Using a combination of ethylene and temperature management, AccumulatR begins more than 120 days before planting. Seed potatoes are carefully warmed to break dormancy and promote even sprouting across the tuber before being cooled to maintain the ideal sprout length until planting.

The result is increased stem numbers, improved tuber numbers, and greater marketable yield.
