User manual :
Aluminium Phosphide is active ingredient which upon exposure to moisture releases phosphine gas (PH3) which is used for the control of eggs, larvae, pupae and adults of most stored product pests.
Recommended Uses :
Aluminium Phosphide is for the fumigation of stored grains, cereals, pulses, millet and propagation seeds, bulk stock feeds, milled products, de-oiled cakes, rice bran flour, suji meals and crushed grain, processed and packaged food stuffs, dry fruits, nuts, spices, oil seeds, tobacco, etc.
Recommended Dosage :
| Type of Fumigation | Dosage | Exposure Period |
|---|---|---|
| Bulk grain in silos, large bins and similar vertical storage | 2-4 tablets per cubic meter | Long periods typical e.g. 8 to 10 Days |
| Bulk grain and raw commodities in flat storage | 3-5 tablets per cubic meter | Min. 120 to 168 hrs. at 10-15 C, 98 to 120 hrs. at 16-20 C, 72 to 96 hrs. above 20 C |
| Space fumigation of packed foods and feeds, non-food items stacked under gastight covers enclosures | 1 to 1.5 tablets per cubic meter | Min. 120 to 168 hrs. at 10-15 C, 98 to 120 hrs. at 16-20 C, 72 to 96 hrs. above 20 C |

Note: The above recommendations are to be regarded as guidelines only. Local regulations have to be observed strictly. The most important factor for a successful fumigation is proper sealing. Do not fumigate when temperature is below 5C (10F). Each 3 gram tablet generates 1 gram phosphine gas (PH3).
