Abstract
Laboratory methods of fumigation of food commodities and surface
sterilization of grains have been described. Out of eight fumigants tested ethylene oxide,
methyl bromide, sulphur dioxide, EDB-MB mixture could give a hundred per cent
control of internal fungi of sorghum. Ethylene oxide reduced the viability totally, while
sulphur dioxide at 64 mg/l maintained 75 per cent viability. There was increase in the
germination percentage over the control with the treatments of ethylene dibromide and
phosphine.
