Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA), under the authority of the Pest Control Products Act, is granting registration for the sale and use of 1,4Zap Technical and 1,4Zap containing the technical grade active ingredient 1-octanol, for post-harvest application on stored potatoes to control emerged sprouts in ventilated storage facilities only.
 
Sprouting of potatoes in storage occurs when dormancy is lost. It occurs earlier in varieties with relatively low dormancy and/or in unrefrigerated or partially refrigerated conditions. Sprouted potatoes are less firm, bruise more easily, are lower in quality and therefore are less marketable as table stock or less desirable for processing.
 
This decision is consistent with the Proposed Registration Decision PRD2019-05, 1-Octanol and 1,4Zap, which contains a detailed evaluation of the information submitted in support of this registration. The evaluation found that, under the approved conditions of use, the health and environmental risks and the value of the pest control products are acceptable. Health Canada received no comments on PRD2019-05, 1-Octanol and 1,4Zap.
