Evaluation of the efficacy of the methyl bromide fumigation schedule against Mexican fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) in citrus fruit.
Methyl bromide fumigation is widely used as a phytosanitary treatment. Mexican fruit fly, Anastrepha ludens (Loew) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is a quarantine pest of several fruit, including citrus (Citrus spp.), exported from Texas, Mexico, and Central America. Recently, live larvae have been found with supposedly correctly fumigated citrus fruit. This research investigates the efficacy of the pr...
متن کاملMethyl bromide intoxication during grain store fumigation.
There have been over 300 cases of methyl bromide poisoning reported in the literature. The first objective of this case report was to bring out an experience with the false belief that work in a closed space is safe when accompanied by the use of a cartridge respirator with activated charcoal. The second objective of this article was to demonstrate the marked toxicity of methyl bromide with the...
متن کاملMethyl Bromide Fumigation of Pratylenchus brachyurus in Peanut Shells.
Five dosages of methyl bromide were used to fumigate peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) shells and whole pods of peanuts in 1-liter flasks for 24 hr at 25 C. Methyl bromide dosages as low as 24.5 mg/liter killed all Pratylenchus brachyurus (Godfrey) Filip. &Sch. Stech. in peanut shells. Dosages of 44.6 and 50.9 mg/liter killed all but one or two nematodes in shells of whole pods. A 15% reduction in s...
متن کاملActual hazard of methyl bromide fumigation in soil disinfection.
Methyl bromide, a highly toxic and ready penetrating fumigant, is widely used against rodents, insects, mites, and a range of pathogenic organisms in soil, compost, and timber. To disinfect soil in greenhouses, methyl bromide is brought under pressure from outside by a vaporiser and blown on to ground under a polyethylene cover. The gas being three times heavier than air easily penetrates the g...
متن کاملMethyl Bromide Soil Fumigation Alters Plant Element Concentrations
Soil fumigation is used to eliminate plant pathogens and weeds in commercial practice and to eliminate organisms in controlled experiments, e.g., vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (VAMF). This study was conducted to study the effect of methyl bromide fumigation on plant accumulation of 14 elements and assess plant colonization by VAMF after fumigation. Field experiments were conducted near...
