Methyl bromide (MB) and Phosphine were the most widely used fumigants for controlling insect pest infestation in grain, dry food products and quarantine insects in cut flowers. Lately, the phase out of MB in developed countries, Phosphine became a major fumigant for the control of stored product insects. However, limitations, such as low temperature and relatively long exposure time, limit its use. This situation made it urgent to search for new techniques to improve the fumigation with Phosphine and for alternative environmentally sound and cost effective control agents. In order to improve Phosphine application a special device, containing a heater and a ventilator, called Speedbox, was evaluated. In addition, the potential use of essential oils as botanical fumigants obtained from aromatic plants, and the use of Diatomaceous Earth as grain protectant were evaluated against major stored product insects. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.
