Alufos

Professional Grain Fumigation Solution

Long-term storage of grain requires robust protection against hidden pests that can compromise the quality and quantity of the harvest. Aluphos, based on aluminum phosphide, is an essential tool for agricultural enterprises aiming to eliminate grain weevils, flour mites, and moths that thrive in stored grain and storage facilities.

The Power of Phosphine Gas

Aluphos tablets react with atmospheric moisture to release phosphine gas. This gas is highly effective because of its excellent penetrating power, allowing it to reach the deepest layers of stored wheat or corn, gaps in storage walls, and the interiors of grain kernels where pests hide. Unlike liquid pesticides, this fumigant method ensures complete coverage without requiring physical contact with the grain mass.

Key Operational Use Cases

• Warehouse Sanitization: Essential for preparing storage facilities and silos before new crops arrive, ensuring a sterile environment.
• Stored Grain Protection: Directly treating grain piles to eradicate barn weevils and grain borers without the need for moving the grain, which saves time and labor costs.
• Seed Protection: Ideal for safeguarding high-value seed stocks against moths and other pests, ensuring that viability remains intact until planting season.

Safety and Regulatory Compliance

Classified as a Hazard Class 1 substance, Aluphos must be handled with extreme care. Fumigation should be conducted only by trained professionals in tightly sealed environments. Proper safety gear, including specialized respiratory protection, is mandatory. Following the specified exposure time and conducting thorough aeration (degassing) is crucial for safety and compliance with grain quality standards.
