Abstract

The present invention relates to concentrated formulations of CIPC in a dialkylene glycol for the anti-germinating treatment of bulbs or tubers. This use is particularly appropriate for the treatment of potato tubers.

Claims

1. A solution of CIPC in a dialkylene glycol.

2. The solution according to claim 1, in which the dialkylene glycol is dipropylene glycol.

3. The solution according to claim 1, comprising 350 to 900 g/l of CIPC.

4. The solution according to claim 3, comprising 550 to 850 g/l of CIPC.

5. The solution according to claim 1, comprising one or more emulsifying agents.

6. The solution according to claim 1, comprising 0 to 20% by weight of emulsifying agent.

7. A method for the treatment of bulbs or tubers, using the solution according to claim 1.

8. The method according to claim 7, for the anti-germinating treatment of potatoes.

9. The method according to claim 7, in which said solution is applied by fogging.

10. The method according to claim 7, in which the solution is applied at a temperature of between 170 and 230°

C.

11. The method according to claim 10, in which the solution is applied at a temperature of between 190 and 215°

C.

12. A process for the preparation of solutions of chloropropham (CIPC), comprising the step of solubilising CIPC in a dialkylene glycol.

13. The process according to claim 12, in which the dialkylene glycol is dipropylene glycol.
