Celphos Aluminium Phosphide 56% Fumigant Powder

Celphos Aluminium Phosphide 56% Fumigant Powder is a professional-grade fumigant for controlling stored grain pests in warehouses, godowns and agricultural commodity storage. It releases phosphine gas on contact with atmospheric moisture. As a result, the gas penetrates deep into stored commodities and reaches pests at all life stages.

The 10g pouch suits small to medium grain storage, food processing units and commercial storage facilities. It is also effective against rice weevils, grain beetles, grain borers, flour beetles and khapra beetles.
