Abstract
A method for preparing tritiated phosphine for determination of absorption of the fumigant by insects provides an easy means for simultaneous treatment of several different samples under identical conditions to obtain comparative data on fumigant uptake. In tests on 2 species of insects, results were obtained that showed reasonable agreement with previous data using nonlabeled fumigant.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
