Alfos

Grain Storage Protection: Alfos Fumigant

Alfos is a specialized plant protection product based on aluminum phosphide, specifically designed for the fumigation of stored grain. As a potent insecticide and acaricide, it is a critical tool for managing pests in large-scale storage facilities and silos where traditional contact treatments are insufficient.

Efficacy and Target Pests

The product is formulated as tablets that release phosphine gas upon contact with atmospheric moisture. This gas is highly effective at penetrating grain masses, ensuring complete control over a variety of persistent pests, including:

• Confused flour beetle
• Indian meal moth
• Grain moth
• Grain and bread borers

The product exhibits both systemic and contact action, disrupting the life cycles of insects even in high-density storage environments.

Global Manufacturing

The product is manufactured by a consortium of specialized plants, including NVF Alfos (Lipetsk, Russia), as well as Jiangsu Shualin and Jining High Technology Development Zone Yongfeng Chemical Plant (Shandong, China). The product is represented by the applicant ExpoProdKom. This diverse manufacturing base allows for a consistent supply chain, meeting the operational needs of agricultural enterprises during peak storage seasons.

Handling and Safety Protocols

Alfos is classified as a Hazard Class 1 substance. Safety is paramount: application must only be conducted by certified professionals equipped with professional-grade respiratory and dermal protection. While registration documentation may reference soil application, the primary and intended industrial application of this product is the fumigation of grain stores and warehouses, where its efficacy in eradicating hidden infestations is unmatched.
