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. 2, record 2, English, - grain%20fumigant
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 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. 3, record 2, English, - grain%20fumigant

Spot application is used to control local infestations in hot spots some distance below the grain surface. The extent of the infested area is determined by probing. The fumigant is then introduced by pouring it into pipes inserted into the infested area on a 1-metre grid. The method is seldom completely successful but is used as a holding measure. It kills the insects but does not cool the hot spot. 1, record 3, English, - spot%20application

Cette méthode convient au traitement des points d'échauffement. On insère dans le grain un tuyau ayant un diamètre minimal de 2,5 centimètres jusqu'à ce que l'extrémité atteigne un point situé au-dessous de la zone d'échauffement. A mesure qu'on retire le tuyau, on laisse tomber les comprimés un à un, selon une cadence déterminée au préalable. Les tuyaux sont insérés selon une grille préétablie à intervalles de 1 mètre, dans les deux directions. Il est important de s'assurer que les comprimés ne collent pas au tuyau. 2, record 3, French, - traitement%20localis%C3%A9

Surface application is one of the approved methods for application of liquid fumigants. Surface application is effective for treating top infestations such as grain moths or secondary beetles in flat storages. Flat storages and annexes can be treated only by surface applications, applying the liquid fumigants under pressure. A power sprayer with a 12 ro 25 millimetre diameter hose and a fine spray nozzle is used to control surface infestations of moths. 1, record 4, English, - surface%20application
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Even distribution of a fumigant is important, requiring that grain in flat storages be levelled prior to application. This does not apply in the case of moth infestation, since levelling will mix the moths with other uncontaminated grain. 1, record 4, English, - surface%20application

La fumigation en surface est l'une des méthodes autorisées pour l'utilisation de comprimés et de boulettes de phosphure d'aluminium. On peut utiliser cette méthode dans le cas où la masse des grains n'a pas plus de 3 mètres de profondeur. On enfonce les comprimés ou les boulettes avec le pied. Pour éviter une perte excessive de gaz, on recouvre le grain d'une bâche en plastique. 1, record 4, French, - fumigation%20en%20surface
