The present invention provides methods for inhibiting sprouting of potato tubers, the methods each including the step of contacting a potato tuber with an amount of a chemical agent including at least one aliphatic carbonyl compound selected from the group consisting of a C3 to C14, .alpha.,.beta. unsaturated aliphatic aldehyde and a C4 to C14, .alpha.,.beta. unsaturated aliphatic ketone, wherein the amount of the chemical agent is effective to inhibit potato tuber sprouting. Some aldehydes and ketones useful in the practice of the present invention are defined by formulae (I) and (II), respectively, as set forth herein. In the practice of the methods of the invention the chemical agent is applied after the potato tubers have been harvested, but typically not later than the onset of sprouting.

La présente invention concerne des procédés permettant d'inhiber la germination des tubercules de pomme de terre. Ce procédé comprend les étapes consistant à mettre en contact une tubercule de pomme de terre avec une quantité d'un agent chimique constitué d'au moins un composé carbonylé aliphatique choisi dans le groupe comprenant un aldéhyde aliphatique insaturé .alpha.,.beta. C¿3? à C¿14? et une cétone aliphatique insaturée .alpha.,.beta. C¿4? à C¿14?; la quantité d'agent chimique permettant d'inhiber la germination des tubercules de pomme de terre. Certains aldéhydes et certaines cétones utilisés dans la mise en oeuvre des procédés décrits dans l'invention sont définis par les formules (I) et (II), respectivement. Les modes de réalisation décrits dans cette invention consistent à appliquer un agent chimique après la récolte des tubercules de pomme de terre, mais généralement pas après le début de leur germination.
