Storage and transportation methods
Special restrictions and requirements
Looking for a fast-acting, broad-spectrum fumigant for your storage pest control needs? Aluminum Phosphide 56%/57% Tablet is a highly potent and efficient solution that protects stored grain, seeds, tobacco, and animal feed from destructive insect infestations and rodent attacks. Upon exposure to atmospheric moisture, this product releases phosphine (PH₃) gas, which penetrates deeply into bulk commodities and closed storage structures.
Whether you're managing a warehouse, grain silo, or food processing facility, this fumigant provides you with reliable pest eradication, low residue, and cost-effective application — making it an ideal choice for professional users worldwide.

Aluminum Phosphide releases phosphine gas (PH₃) upon contact with moisture or humidity. This gas rapidly diffuses through grains, seeds, and fumigation chambers, targeting insect and rodent respiration systems:
Insects: Disrupts mitochondrial function and halts energy production, leading to death at all life stages (egg, larva, pupa, adult).
Rodents: Kills ground-burrowing species like moles and field mice by suffocating them in sealed environments.
Its systemic activity and gaseous penetration allow for complete disinfestation even in hard-to-reach areas.
Used for:
Cereal grains (wheat, corn, rice, barley, sorghum)
Pulses and oilseeds
Dry nuts and spices
Seeds, animal feed, and tobacco leaves
Targets:
Field rodents (moles, voles, gophers)
Underground pests in orchards, pastures, and non-crop lands
Application Site | Recommended Dose | Duration |
---|---|---|
Grain Storage (Bulk) | 1.5 – 3g/m³ | 3 – 5 days |
Seed/Feed Silos | 2g/m³ | 5 days |
Tobacco Warehouses | 2 – 3g/m³ | 4 – 5 days |
Note: Ensure airtight sealing of the fumigation site. Post-treatment ventilation is critical before re-entry.
Target Pests | Recommended Use |
---|---|
Field Rats, Moles | 1–2 tablets per burrow, sealed tightly |
Gophers | Place tablets in tunnels before sealing |
Always avoid using during heavy rain or wet soil conditions.
Operator Certification Required: Only trained, licensed applicators should handle this fumigant.
PPE Needed: Use protective gloves, full-face respirators with phosphine filters, and chemical-resistant suits.
Storage: Keep in cool, dry, and ventilated storage rooms away from water, heat, and incompatible chemicals.
Post-Application Entry: Re-enter fumigated areas only after complete aeration and gas concentration is below 0.3 ppm.
Phosphine gas is highly toxic. Strictly follow local pesticide regulations and label instructions.

Q1: Is Aluminum Phosphide safe for organic farming?
A1: While it leaves no residue, it is not considered organic-approved. Use only under conventional protocols.
Q2: Can I use it for rodent control indoors?
A2: No. It must only be used outdoors or in sealed, unoccupied indoor storage spaces.
Q3: Does it leave any residue on grains?
A3: No. Phosphine gas dissipates completely after aeration, leaving no chemical residue on commodities.
Q4: How long should I ventilate after fumigation?
A4: At least 48 hours under normal airflow. Test for phosphine levels before re-entry.
