In Scotland 2‐aminobutane (2‐AB) has been used successfully for the control of gangrene ( Phoma exigua var. foveata ) and skin spot ( Polyscytalum pustulans ) in potatoes stored both in boxes and bulk. Gangrene and skin spot can be particularly troublesome in some areas of Scotland and under the prevalent harvesting conditions 2‐AB provides a high level of control while other materials have been less effective.
