Innovation has led to improvements in storing and keeping potatoes fresh for up to 12 months. The goal of the 1-4 group has always been to minimize plant stress. Over the years, there have been advancements in how applications are applied to potato piles. In the past, there were storage fires and equipment was bulky and imprecise. However, with the introduction of the eFresh, an electric-powered fogging machine, potato storage has taken a leap forward. The eFresh can reduce CO2 in the storage environment, resulting in higher quality potatoes. In a quest to improve the storability and freshness of potatoes, innovation has driven the ability for growers to keep their potatoes resting in storage for upwards of 12 months. Continuing the intelligent efforts in finding ways to minimize plant stress has always been the goal of the 1-4 group. Through decades of improvement in how applications are applied to a potato pile, the tools we use are starting to look a little different. In the early days, we fought storage fires, which cost growers major losses. Equipment was bulky, loud, and imprecise. Beyond our game-changing chemistry that brought DMN to the market around the globe, the way we treat our storage has taken a new leap. Introducing the eFresh, an electric-powered application fogging machine that has answered the call for better equipment for potato storage around the globe. Now with the ability to reduce CO2 in the storage environment, we are able to increase the quality of your potatoes.
