Conclusions CIPC can be replaced for long term storage Shelf-Life • Alternatives work enough up to 7 days @ 15 °C without MH • Effect of interval between treatment and unloading Quality not influenced by product except... • Internal germination (suppressant vs. inhibitor) • Fry colour (depending on variety x product)
