OR

With an appropriate fumigant at approved label rates,

OR

With phosphine at the following rate:

Solid phosphine fumigation at:

  • 1.5grm/m3 for 72 hours at 28 degrees Celsius or above.

OR

Cylindorised phosphine (VaporPH3OS) at:

  • 1050 ppm for 72 hours at 28 degrees Celsius or above;

Cylindorised phosphine (ECO2Fume) at:

The exporter is to provide evidence attesting to the treatment and present it to the department at time of authorisation.

​Details of treatment to be endorsed on the phytosanitary certificate in the treatment section.
