The inhibition of sproutin~ re~er~ to a r~duction in th~ numb~r o~ ~pro~ts per ~ubsr and~or ~ redu~tion in the mean ~prout length.
The pre e~t lnventio~ ~ccor~ingly provides a meth~d for lnhibitiny ~he sprouting of potatoe~, ~hich ~mpri~es applying thereto an amount o~ ~ar~et~mide ~u~ ient ~o inhibit ~he sprouting thereof~ Th~ carbe~amide may be applied, ~or example, prior to or during stor~y~ to inhlbit lo t.he sprouting of stored potatoes. Carbetamide 1~ pre~erably applied at or after the no~mal curing peri~d ~fter li~ting the crop prior ~o stor~g~. The tuber~ ~hould pr,3~e~ahly not ~e washed prior to treatment (although wa~hing in water ~t carefully controlled temper~tures i6 feagible).
Car~e~amide i~ a known selective herbicide which has be~n wldely used in the cultivation o~ ~ra~e, domestic, and eed bras~i~ae and legumes and a wide varlRty of o~her ~ops.
It 1~ also u~ed ~or weed ~ontrol in fallow lands, orchards, vineyards and nurserie~

th~ invention compri~e carbetamide in ~s~ociation with ~
diluent or c~rrier. Th~se compo~i~ions can ~e preparcd in ~he form of e.~. ~et~able pvwder~, powdex~ for dusting, solutians, emul~i~iable concentrate~ ulsion~, ~uspens~on aoncen~rates and aexosols and generally comprise from l to 95% by weight of active mat~rial; o~her ingredients which may be present include sur~ctants and o~her acoeptable adjuvants such as absorbent~, binders, p~netration agent~, ~tabilisers and other activa materials, for exampl~ ~un~icide~ and insecticides. The term "carrie~" denotes an or~ania ox l~ inorg~nic, natural or ~yntheti~ material with Wh~h the c~rbetamid~ i~ combined in order to ~ilitate it~
application, tran~port, handling or adher~nce to the potato.
