Restrain is the manufacturer of a unique generator that converts ethanol into ethylene gas for the control of sprouts in potatoes and onions. New to the U.S., but used in over 40 countries, the technology has been proven effective to control sprouts in long-term storages.

Restrain also offers a seed potato treatment, called Accumulator, that increases stem numbers, yield and profit. The product has recently gained an organic label in Canada and is working on an organic label in the US. The process is safe for storage managers, leaves no residue and is an effective sprout control for potatoes, onions, shallots and garlic.
