Abstract:

Fumigation of oil seeds (sunflower, soya‐bean, groundnuts and cotton) with ethylene dibromide (EDB) was performed at two concentrations in order to establish the effect of seed structure and oil content on the sorption and reaction of EDB. Amounts of the fumigant sorbed were markedly increased by the presence of fat in the seeds. Hulls generally inhibited sorption. Amounts of bound bromine were not affected by the presence of fat and were proportional to the initial concentration of EDB in the seeds. No bound bromine was found in the oil fraction of the seeds. About one month's airing was needed to free the seeds of sorbed EDB. Copyright © 1965 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
