ABSTRACT:
A method for inhibiting sprouting of tubers including the step of exposing tubers to the oxygenated monoterpenes: cineole, fenchone, menthol, or mixtures thereof. Preferably, the tubers are exposed to a composition having an oxygenated monoterpene fraction, and wherein cineole, fenchone, menthol, or a mixture thereof form the major portion of the oxygenated monoterpene fraction.
