Phosphir, TB (aluminum phosphide, 560 g/kg)

Professional Fumigation for Grain Storage

Aluminum phosphide in tablet form, known as Phosphir (560 g/kg), is a potent solution designed for the total eradication of stored product pests. This fumigant is essential for maintaining the quality of grain and preventing losses caused by deep-seated infestations in elevators, silos, and warehouses.

Practical Applications

Agribusinesses utilize Phosphir for a variety of critical operations:

• Fumigation of grain bulk stored in silos or warehouses to eliminate internal and external pests.
• Disinfestation of bagged grain or products under sealed tarpaulins.
• Routine maintenance of empty warehouse spaces to prevent cross-contamination from previous crops.

The product effectively controls major pests, including the granary and rice weevil, grain moth, flour beetle, and various mites. Due to its gaseous nature, phosphine penetrates deep into the grain mass, ensuring complete elimination of pests at all life stages, including eggs and larvae, which are often unreachable for contact pesticides.

Safety and Operational Guidelines

Phosphir belongs to the highest hazard category (Class 1). Proper safety measures and specialized protective equipment are mandatory during application. The efficacy of the treatment relies entirely on the airtight sealing of the storage facility. When exposed to atmospheric moisture, the tablets gradually release phosphine gas, which saturates the target area.

By incorporating Phosphir into their storage management protocols, farmers ensure that their harvest remains free from insect damage, preserving the product's market value and preventing significant quantitative losses over long-term storage periods. The tablet form allows for precise dosage and uniform distribution within the storage volume.
