Synopsis

This book presents an in-depth analysis of experimental methyl bromide fumigations conducted in grain-filled laboratory recirculators. The author examines the minimum effective dosage rates required to achieve complete insect mortality in various types of grain, including wheat, corn, oats, barley, and grain sorghum. The study investigates the impact of grain moisture content, exposure periods, and insect species on the efficacy of methyl bromide fumigation. The results provide valuable insights into the relationship between concentration, time, and insect mortality, contributing to a better understanding of the practical application of methyl bromide as a grain fumigant.
