Which chemical is most suitable to control storage insets on a small scale...??? |
|
Answer» The chemical compounds, including both fumigants and contact insecticides, which are approved by FAD/WHO for use on food grains to control storage insects, are regularly reviewed. Their safety in use, for PEST control OPERATORS and food-grain USERS, is carefully CONSIDERED before approval is given and that approval may be withdrawn if new circumstances indicate the need for the exclusion of a particular compound. In general, the contact insecticides that are approved for use are compounds of relatively low mammalian toxicity, which are considered to be non-hazardous when applied at prescribed dilution rates for the purposes indicated. |
