Frequently Asked Questions

How does 1,4-DMN work? What is the mode of action?

1,4-DMN is a dormancy enhancement chemical that, when applied correctly, helps a potato maintain its natural dormancy. 1,4-DMN can also stop further sprout growth on a potato that has started sprouting prior to an application. Unlike CIPC, 1,4-DMN is reversible and does not prevent normal growth once residue levels have dissipated.

How is 1,4-DMN different that CIPC?

CIPC is a post-emergence herbicide that disrupts cell division after sprout growth has occurred. CIPC has no activity on the potato until sprout growth commences. 1,4SIGHT® is a dormancy enhancement chemical that helps a potato maintain its natural dormancy.

Are there varieties that 1,4SIGHT® does not work on?

1,4SIGHT® works on all varieties.

Does 1,4SIGHT® affect sugars/color?

Testing has shown that no color shifts occur with 1,4SIGHT®. However, any treatment made with a propane fueled application machine can cause color shifts during the application process, especially during late season treatments.

Does 1,4SIGHT® affect pressure bruise?

Data suggests that 1,4SIGHT® reduces water loss from stored tubers and thus also reduces pressure bruising.
