Development of a Concurrent Treatment Technique of Ethyl Formate and Mixtures (Nitrogen, Phosphine) to Control Citrus Mealybug (Planococcus citri) [PDF]
Insects, 2023 Currently, the fumigant ethyl formate (EF) is stored as a liquified gas in metal cylinders mixed with carbon dioxide (CO2), but this product type is expensive to manufacture, transport, and maintain in cylinders. To address these problems, we developed a
