Purogene® Potato

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.

Purogene Potato’s formulation has a low odor, and due to its stability, Purogene Potato can be stored and transported without any special considerations. When used in misting applications and pre-storage rinses, Purogene Potato controls tuber-related diseases and spoilage organisms. Depending on conditions, Purogene Potato is used to treat potatoes at concentrations between 200 and 400 ppm.

Purogene Potato has low corrosivity, is easy to use and, most importantly, is safe when used as directed. Purogene Potato is not regulated for transport and does not require any special US DOT permits.
