The Need to Update a Practical Guide Related to the Cycle for Fumigation of Grains as a Function of Research and Technological Progress
This paper describes relevant aspects mainly related to fumigation of grains and cereals as a useful treatment to prevent post-harvest losses and improve food security. At the same time, it highlights a publication entitled : Guide to fumigation under gas-proof sheets prepared jointly by FAO and ACIAR in 2004. This guide is special since it is valuable as a reference text and it also contains a CD-ROM with audio visual training material on fumigation. The AGST technical unit of FAO would like to draw attention to the need to update this guide on fumigation in line with the Montreal protocol on the use of fumigants and invites storage and fumigation experts to promote activities in favour of the improvement of food security and environment protection where the INPhO web data base of FAO could play an important role in technical diffusion of this subject matter. Likewise, some FAO experiences and issues of interest related to post harvest matters and fumigation are discussed.
