Ethyl Formate Plus Methyl Isothiocyanate Is A Potential Liquid Fumigant for Stored Grains

摘要：

A new fumigant designed for the grains industry consists of 95% ethyl formate (EF)and 5% methyl isothiocyanate （MITC) as a synergistic additive. The formulation is stable at 25,30 and 45℃ during 2,3 and 4 months storage. The formulation shows a high level of efficacy in controlling the major grain pests at all life stages of the insects. The dose to kill insects at all stages of Rhyzopertha dominica, Sitophilus granerium, SitophUus oryzae and Tribolium castaneum in infested wheat and barley is 80 mg L -1 for 5 days and 25 ℃. After 8 days holding period, residues of EF and MITC were marginal or below the experimental permit level of 0.2 mg kg -1 and 0.1 mg kg -1 respectively, without the need for forced aeration of the wheat.
