Sulfuryl fluoride is a colorless, odorless gas used as fumigant against pests during the storage of durable agricultural products. It also one alternatives to methyl bromide, which banned by Montreal Protocol. During fumigation, decomposition product sulfuryl residue can be formed in addition residue. Fluoride actually natural ingredient tea plant. However, within growing process plant concentr...

In a previous paper (1), the authors have shown that the fumigation of citrus trees with hydrocyanic acid (HCN) for pest control, at a time of the year when the fruit buds are in a certain stage of development, produced ridges and sectors in the outer portion of the peel (flavedo) of the fruit. In the navel orange, Valencia orange and grapefruit varieties, fumigation of trees in February produc...

Recommended methods for disposal of aluminium phosphide may involve burial. A range of aluminium phosphide preparations used for fumigation consisting of partially spent, and unspent commercial phosphine (PH3) generating aluminium phosphide formulations (blankets and sachets, pellets, and tablets), was buried for 19 months. Phosphine produced by the formulations during this period was monitored...

The productivity of a pasture soil (caatinga) located in the region of São João do Cariri, PB, Brazil was evaluated based an the following microbiological parameters: biomass (measured by fumigation-incubation method), activity (estimated from basal respiration and cellulose decomposition rate), qCO2, and Cmic : Corg ratio. This analysis demonstrated that livestock management in the 'caatinga' ...

reduction of exhaust emissions is a major research task in diesel engine development in view of increasing concerns regarding environmental protection and stringent exhaust gas regulations. simultaneousreduction of nox emissions and particulate matter is quite difficult due to the soot/nox trade-off and isoften accompanied by fuel consumption penalties. towards this aim, automotive engineers ha...
