Altox

Reliable Fumigation for Grain Protection

«Altox» is a professional-grade fumigant based on aluminum phosphide, specifically engineered to secure stored grain from devastating pest infestations. In industrial elevator storage where pests can cause significant financial loss in a short period, «Altox» serves as a critical defense line.

Target Pests

This product provides comprehensive control over the most common and destructive stored-grain pests, including:

• Granary and Rice Weevils;
• Lesser Grain Borer;
• Confused Flour Beetle;
• Various moths (Mill moth, Mediterranean flour moth, Grain moth).

Mechanism of Action

Upon exposure to atmospheric moisture, the aluminum phosphide releases phosphine gas. The primary advantage of this fumigant is its high penetrative power. The gas permeates grain bulk, structural cracks, and voids, reaching areas inaccessible to contact insecticides. This makes it highly effective against pests in all developmental stages, from eggs to adults.

Safety and Application Requirements

Classified as a high-toxicity product (Class 1 hazard), «Altox» requires strict adherence to safety protocols. Application must be carried out by trained professionals in hermetically sealed environments. It is the optimal solution for large-scale agricultural enterprises and elevator facilities that prioritize grain quality and long-term storage safety.

Key Strengths: Exceptional penetration, no adverse impact on germination or grain quality when degassed properly, cost-effective dosing.

Key Considerations: High toxicity necessitates professional certification and strict site security.
