Tetrachloronitrobenzene (TCNB)

TCNB also known as Technazene or Fusarex is in commercial use in some countries but its use is limited. It is known to suppress sprout growth at 10O C and does not inhibit wound healing. Since it is highly volatile, it can be used on seed potatoes also. It is applied at  the  rate of 135 mg/kg of potatoes.
