Grain Fumigation: Protecting Harvests from Storage Pests

Once cereal crops are moved into storage, the primary threat is no longer the weather, but the silent destruction caused by storage pests. 'Aluphos' is a specialized insecticide-fumigant based on aluminum phosphide, designed to protect stocks of oats, winter barley, rye, wheat, and corn. Its tablet form ensures deep gas penetration into the grain bulk, effectively neutralizing insect populations at every stage of their life cycle.

When is application required?

'Aluphos' is essential when warehouses show signs of infestation by pests such as the granary weevil, rice weevil, grain borer, confused flour beetle, or the saw-toothed grain beetle. It is also highly effective against the Indian meal moth and grain moth, which can destroy a significant portion of storage reserves in a very short time.

• Mechanism of Action: Upon contact with atmospheric air, the tablets release phosphine gas, which possesses high penetrating power and lethal efficacy against storage pests.
• Professional Standards: Classified as a Class 1 hazard, 'Aluphos' must be handled exclusively by trained personnel under strict conditions of object hermetization.
• Global Production Quality: The manufacturing of 'Aluphos' involves capacities from China National Complete Engineering Corporation, Hangzhou Ruijiang Chemical Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Dayo Chemical Industrial, Agricopter Asia Limited, and the Ukrainian company Agrohymikat.

Successful fumigation depends directly on the quality of room sealing and temperature control. By utilizing this product, agricultural enterprises can minimize grain losses during long-term storage and maintain the high market quality of their produce.
