Action and inaction of fumigants

1986

Price, N.R.

Although the mode of action of contact insecticides has been much studied and written about, there are few reports of studies on the mode of action of fumigants on insect pests. Because of the recent development of resistance to fumigant gases, and the urgent need to investigate this phenomenon, it has become important to understand some of their characteristic effects. A review of the available information concerning the physiological and biochemical effects of some of the common fumigants is presented, along with more recent studies on the action of, and resistance to, phosphine in stored product insects
