ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for applying sprout inhibiting chemicals to stored potatoes using installed storage air system at a reduced air flow having frequency generator 24 serially connected between power supply control box 23 and fan motor 12 for air supply fan 11 to reduce the frequency of power supply to fan motor 12 in order to reduce the amount of air being delivered to stored potatoes 22 to less than 5 SCFM per ton of potatoes stored. By reducing air flow to less than 5 SCFM loss of sprout inhibiting chemical by agglomeration and impingement with the surfaces of the air handling system is substantially reduced.
