Isopropyl N‐(3‐chlorophenyl) Carbarmate (CIPC) Effect on Nitrogenous Constituents of Potatoes

摘要

ABSTRACTPotatoes treated with 1 or 3 CIPC and stored 16 weeks at 5°C and 20°C were analyzed for nitrogenous constituents. Treatment with 1 CIPC significantly (p<0.025) increased total nitrogen and protein content in tubers of two cultivars compared to untreated control tubers following storage at 5°C and 20°C. Treatment with 3 CIPC increased total nitrogen and decreased protein in tubers stored at 20°C (p<0.025), but decreased total nitrogen and protein in tubers stored at 5°C. Treating potatoes with CIPC prevented sprouting in both varieties and apparently caused the tuber to retain nit
