Fumigation of stored products with methyl bromide has an important means of limiting the loss of quality and quantity of these commodities that are subject to attact by cosmopolitan stored product pests. This poisone gas was identified as a substance depleting ozone and is expected to be withdrawn from production, importation and use in Poland and other countries soon after 2000 year. However non of other methods (controlled atmospheres, heat, cold, irradiation, biotechnical methods, inert dusts, biological methods sanitation) mayalone replace methylbromide. Successful pest control in the absence of mathyl bromide will require the development of sophisticated pest monitoring and decision support systems to enable the use of integrated pest management strategies
