Patent application number | Title | Published |
20140200144 | TREATMENT OF CROPS WITH A LOWER ALKYL NAPHTHALENE TO ALTER CELL CYCLE AND WATER REGULATION - The instant invention relates to identification of certain genes in potatoes, which are activated by treatment of said potatoes with a preselected dosage of a lower alkyl naphthalene, especially 1,4 dimethyl naphthalene. The activation of these genes produces a dormancy-like state in said potatoes. Particular embodiments relate to the identification of dehydration-resistant genes in said potatoes, which were also activated by said treatment with a lower alkyl naphthalene, such as 1,4 dimethyl naphthalene. | 07-17-2014 |
20140200142 | TREATMENT OF STORED TUBERS WITH AEROSOLS OF HIGHER ALCOHOLS - A method and composition of treating post-harvest tubers with a higher alcohol as a thermofogged aerosol to suppress sprouting is disclosed. | 07-17-2014 |
20140199479 | APPARATUS AND PROCESS FOR LOW-TEMPERATURE INJECTION OF A LIQUID CROP PRESERVATIVE FORMULATION - An apparatus and method for treating a substrate with a volatile liquid, crop-preservative formulation, wherein said substrate is in proximity to a crop to be treated by the vapor from said formulation, is disclosed. The substrate is most conveniently a portion of a container in which said crop is stored or shipped. The apparatus and method are adapted to place predetermined quantities of said formulation upon a desired substrate. | 07-17-2014 |
20140199450 | FRUIT SHELF-LIFE EXTENSION - A method of maintaining freshly harvested fruit in a fresh condition includes treating freshly picked highly-hydrated fruit with a composition comprising a lower alkyl naphthalene at a rate of less than about 10 ppm. Another method includes treating freshly picked berries en route to market with a vapor of 1,4 DMN. | 07-17-2014 |
20120328882 | INFUSING A POROUS MEDIA WITH AN ACTIVE CHEMICAL AGENT VAPOR - Porous media may be infused with a layer of chemical upon an extended surface of the porous media by forming a vapor of the chemical and condensing the vapor onto exposed surfaces of the porous media. | 12-27-2012 |
20120328778 | INFUSION OF POROUS MEDIA WITH A LIQUID CHEMICAL AGENT MIXTURE - Methods of infusing a porous media with a liquid chemical agent mixture are disclosed. In some embodiments, the methods include forming a solution of said chemical agent in a suitable solvent, introducing said chemical agent solution into contact with said porous media, and evaporating said solvent to deposit said chemical agent onto/into said porous media. In some embodiments, the chemical agent is CIPC. | 12-27-2012 |
20120328767 | POTATO BOX STORE CHEMICAL TREATMENTS - Chemical treatment systems and devices structured and adapted to provide chemical vapor of a sprout-inhibiting chemical to tubers stored in boxes in box storage facilities. | 12-27-2012 |
20120328749 | CIPC VAPOR TREATMENT - Methods and systems useful for treating crop storage systems with a chemical vapor are set forth herein. Particularly, vapors of CIPC are used in either active or passive systems to inhibit sprouting of stored potatoes. | 12-27-2012 |
