Purogene® Potato is a chlorine dioxide solution with proven efficacy against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and fungi. It is effective in controlling late blight (Phytophthora infestans) and other tuber-related diseases and spoilage organisms.
In addition to its antimicrobial properties, Purogene Potato effectively controls odors. Studies conducted by the USDA, Michigan State University, and North Dakota State University have substantiated earlier research regarding Purogene Potato’s effectiveness. Not only does Purogene Potato control the late blight organism, but it also mitigates other soft and black rot organisms, which make conditions for late blight much worse.
