ENVIRONMENTAL FATE
Animals: In mammals, phosphine is probably metabolised to non-toxic phosphates. Plants In stored products, phosphine undergoes oxidation to phosphoric acid.
Usage: Introduced as a source of fumigant insecticide by Dr. Werner Freyberg Chemische Fabrik (now Detia Freyberg). Patents GB 461997; US 2117158.
Application: Fumigation control of insect and rodent pests in stored grains (wheat, rye, barley, rice, sorghum, maize, etc.), seed grains, grain products (flour, noodles, semolina, etc.), pulses (peas, beans, lentils, etc.), tobacco, tapioca (roots and flour), oil seeds, expeller cake, nuts, nut kernels, dried fruit, coffee beans, cocoa beans, tea, etc.; and in empty warehouses, silos, packing materials, transport containers, etc. Phytotoxicity Living plants, fresh vegetables and fruits, with few exceptions, should not be fumigated.
