Treatment of grain and food produce in Nairobi
Phosphine is an accepted treatment for most bulk food produce including cereal, grains, dried fruit, nut, rice, cocoa and coffee beans as it eliminates all life cycle stages of the target insect pest, with all the advantages of being non-tainting and leaving no pesticide residue.
During the process, sufficient time must be allowed for the fumigant to work effectively. The time ‘under gas’ is referred to as ‘exposure period’. When phosphine is used at ambient Kenya temperatures, best results are usually achieved in seven days, and usually slightly longer in the cold season.
