The Effectiveness of Timely Potato Treatment for Loss Reduction and Quality Improvement
The Effectiveness of 1.4 Sight: Experience of Dutch Farmers
Last week, a team of BASF specialists, including Milos Zivkovic, Strategic Accounts Manager, visited farmers in the Netherlands to evaluate the application of 1.4 Sight technology. Their observations confirmed that timely treatment with this product significantly reduced losses, preserved high product quality, and lowered energy costs during storage.
How Does 1.4 Sight Work?
1.4 Sight is an innovative sprout inhibitor used to prevent storage losses. It helps:
- Maintain potato freshness – tubers look as if they were just harvested.
- Reduce losses – prevents spoilage and sprouting.
- Save energy – by optimizing storage conditions.
- Support sustainability – reduces waste and product losses.
Practical Benefits for Farmers
Dutch farmers noted that 1.4 Sight treatment not only improves potato quality but also enhances storage efficiency. This is especially relevant in the context of rising energy costs and stricter product quality requirements.
Prospects for Russia and CIS Countries
The use of 1.4 Sight could also be beneficial for farmers in Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, and other countries where long-term potato storage is a key part of the business. The question of adapting such technologies to local conditions remains an important topic.
