METHOD OF INHIBITING SPROUT GROWTH ON AGRONOMIC CROPS USING ACETOHYDROXY ACID SYNTHASE INHIBITING HERBICIDES

摘要

METHOD OF INHIBITING SPROUT GROWTH ON AGRONOMIC GROUP USING ACETOHYDROXY ACID SYNTHASE INHIBITING HERBICIDES This invention relates to the use of acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) inhibiting herbicides to prevent or delay sprout formation in agronomic crops. More particularly, this invention relates to the application of imidazolinones on tubers, such as potatoes, to inhibit the post-harvest growth of sprouts.
