Hydrogen Cyanide for Insecticide Phytoquarantine Treatment of Package Wood
نویسندگان
چکیده
Currently hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is industrially produced in the Czech Republic (Lucebni zavody Draslovka Kolin) and is extensively used for Czech mill fumigation. Therefore we evaluated the potential of HCN fumigant for treatment of wooden transport packages (pallets). We tested the penetration of HCN trough wooden pallet materials using gas chromatography. The preliminary results on biological efficacy of HCN on eggs, larvae, pupae and adults of 2 test species (Hylotrupes bajulus and Tribolium castaneum)placed in wooden chambers are presented. The results obtained can be used to establish alternative timber fumigation technologies and protocols to methyl bromide. The research was funded by a grant (QI111B065 Ministry of Agriculture, Czech Republic.)

Background and purpose: Cyanide is a species of high toxicity that is found mostly in industrial effluents such as electroplating, metal mining, metallurgy and metal cleaning processes. Entrance of it to existing environment contains a hazardous to health. The purpose of this study was to compare efficiency of both sonochemical and sonochemical / hydrogen peroxide processes for cyanide rem...

Seed dormancy removal by cold stratification is accompanied by the development of gluconeogenic competence. Although hydrogen cyanide can stimulate the germination of many herbaceous dormant seeds and increase gluconeogenesis in long term, its short-term effects on sugar metabolism require further investigation. Accordingly, an experiment in the form of complete randomized design was carried ou...
