Abstract
The fumigants, methyl bromide and phosphine, were found to give enhanced toxicity when used jointly on the stored product insects Sitophilus granarius (L.) and Tribolium confusum Jacquelin duVal. The fact that the 2 materials can be mixed to exert a combined toxic effect gives them some potential for expanded usefulness in areas where the advantageous properties of both compounds are needed.
