Record 1 2004-07-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Agricultural Chemicals
  • Grain Growing
CONT

The desirable properties of a grain fumigant, notably efficient penetration of the commodity, toxicity to target insects and lack of harmful residues, make it unlikely that new chemical compounds will become available as fumigants.

CONT

While many gases kill insects, an acceptable grain fumigant must not damage the grain, and must be relatively cheap, environmentally friendly, convenient to apply, safe to handle, and have a range of other attributes.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Agents chimiques (Agriculture)
  • Culture des céréales
CONT

Cette substance a déjà été utilisée comme fumigant pour céréales, mais son usage a été interdit au Canada en 1984; on prévoit donc que les résidus ayant cette origine devraient être négligeables dans les produits céréaliers.
