Aluminium Phosphide (typically 56% or 77% depending on formulation)

Application:

Tablets or pellets are typically placed inside grain stacks or storage units.The area is sealed and left for the required exposure time (typically 5–7 days).Proper ventilation is done after fumigation before grain usage.

Safety Precautions:

Use only by trained personnel or under expert supervision.Highly toxic – avoid inhalation; protective equipment (PPE) must be worn.Do not open containers in humid conditions unless immediately applying.Keep away from children, animals, and food items.
