No Thumbnail AvailableBook (series)Manual of fumigation for insect control 1984
Also available in:
No results found.This manual deals with fumigation for the control of insects above the ground. Soil fumigation is not discussed because it is a separate field of endeavour. The manual is written for the practical fumigator and for the official who is required to conduct or supervise fumigation treatments. The book may also be of interest to senior planners and consultants in crop protection who need information on the scope and limitations of fumigation as an instrument for insect control. Fumigation continue s to play a valuable role in many pest control operations; however, both the concepts and the procedures for controlling insects and other organisms are changing. With increased public concern over the adverse effects of pesticidal chemicals on human health and the environment, greater emphasis is being given to methods that can circumvent the use of these materials. Nevertheless, the need for chemical pesticides, particularly the fumigants, is likely to continue for many years to come; fumigant s have unique properties and capabilities that permit use in numerous situations where other forms of control are not feasible or practical. In bringing the subject of fumigation up to date it has been considered important to put some emphasis on the concept of pest management and the integration of pest control procedures. Fumigation should be viewed as just one of a number of techniques that can be used to prevent or control insect infestations. Best results are likely to be obtained through comprehensive management of all aspects of food storage and preservation to give maximum protection against pest infestation. -
No Thumbnail AvailableBook (stand-alone)Global report on validated alternatives to the use of methyl bromide for soil fumigation 2001
Also available in:
No results found.Methyl bromide (MeBr), used as a fumigant to control several soil-borne pests in various crops, is a strong ozone depleter, and governments and international agencies aware of the problem have agreed to establish a programme to phase out its use. As a result, some lierature on new MeBr alternatives is available that describes the feasibility and disadvantages of each new pest control measure.
