Product Application Issues

Fumigants cause several problems, including possible phytotoxicity, depending on the type of crop and its variety, seasonal conditions, humidity, temperature, fumigant concentration, and duration of treatment. Methyl bromide comes packaged as compressed gas in canisters, it is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas, therefore, it cannot be detected without specifically designed measuring devices. Combine these facts with its high toxicity as a respiratory poison, it is recommended to be used by professional fumigators only.
