Abstract

The poosibility of usiug residual methyl bromide left after exposure in fumatoria for more fumigations in sub· sequent fumatoria was demonstrated. Use of the air washing technique to obtain more fumigant concentralion in the atmosphere of the next fumatorium in the series proved advantageous. In the 24 hours exposure series, the residual concentralions in air were low because of prolonged sorption by the commodities, so nol more than two fumigations could be attempted, whereas in the varied-exposure series 3 fumigations could be attempted with the initial dose of 32 mg/L, stretching over an integrated exposure period of 27 hr with 100% mortality of the test insects.
