BIOX-M: all-natural sprout control with no MRL and residue-free!
Made from 100% natural spearmint oil, BIOX-M suppresses pipping and sprouting and delivers up to 98% burn-back on existing sprouts. Gentle on tuber skin and proven in both organic and conventional storage systems. Protect market access and keep storage buildings chemical free.
Growers are turning to BIOX-M when:
- Plans shift late in the season and other options are already off the table
- The crop is headed into a market that's sensitive to residues
- Storage timelines stretch longer than expected
- A newer building needs to stay usable for seed or other purposes down the road
- Sprouting needs to be cleaned up late in the season to recover value
- The operation is organic, or needs a standalone tool that fits an organic system
BIOX-M can also be used alongside CIPC.
Here’s What Growers Ask Us Most
The Withhold Interval (WHI) is just 12 days post-application, making BIOX-M® a fast, efficient and flexible storage solution.
No, when used according to the recommended guidelines, BIOX-M® effectively suppresses external sprouts without causing internal sprouting.
No, BIOX-M® does not impact the flavour, frying colour, or overall quality of the potatoes. It preserves their natural taste and appearance.
BIOX-M®’s sprout control efficacy is identical to CIPC when applied at pipping and at the recommended rate. Unlike CIPC, BIOX-M® is completely natural and leaves no harmful residues. It’s also approved for use in organic farming.
Yes, BIOX-M® is flexible enough to be applied throughout the storage season as needed, ensuring consistent sprout control.
Yes, BIOX-M® performs well even in less-than-ideal storage environments, providing reliable sprout suppression.
BIOX-M® is applied via a hot fogging process, which disperses a fine mist of spearmint oil evenly throughout the storage facility. This ensures complete coverage, whether potatoes are stored in bulk, boxes, or partially filled spaces.
BIOX-M® begins working immediately upon application, with visible sprout suppression as the spearmint oil penetrates the storage space and contacts the sprouts. The storage closure window is just 48-72 hours.
Yes. Treatment of more developed sprouts causes necrosis of the sprouts’ soft tissue. Burnt sprouts will simply detach from the tuber when they move over grading or wash lines, with no negative effect on taste, frying colour or potato quality.
As a natural, eco-friendly, biodegradable alternative to synthetic chemicals, BIOX-M® reduces environmental impact, supporting sustainable farming practices while ensuring residue-free potatoes for consumers.
