1 Integrated Pest Management and Fumigation Safety Training January 24 26, 2017 Kansas State University, Manhattan, Kansas
2 Phosphine Fumigation of Grain Tom Phillips Professor of Entomology Kansas State University
3 What is a fumigant? A toxic chemical pesticide that is applied to the pest in the gas phase Fumigation represents a pest management hammer, intended to disinfest quickly, when needed Since acting as a gas, it leaves very little or no chemical residue Key uses: commodities, buildings, in transit, quarantine Very dangerous for people; applicators and bystanders must be protected!!!
4 Fumigation should give effective, immediate CONTROL Need to ACT if monitoring detects a problem Fumigation Best for bulk-stored grain in silos, bunkers, sealed warehouses and tarped bag stacks Alternatives include controlled atmospheres, high temperature and cold temperature
5 Variables that Affect Fumigation Success Species of target pest: tolerance level Insects most tolerant life stage: egg, larva, pupa, adult Gas concentration High better than low Exposure time Long better than short Temperature Warm better than cool
6 % Mortality Dose-Mortality Results for Cool Eggs 100 % Egg Mortality at 60 o F (= 16 o C) Dose-Concentration of Fumigant
7 % Mortality Dose-Mortality Results for Warm Eggs 100 % Egg Mortality at 77 o F (=25 o C) Dose-Concentration of Fumigant
8 Common and Available Fumigants Methyl Bromide Phosphine Sulfuryl Fluoride
9 Phosphine: The Primary Fumigant for Grain
10 Metallic Phosphide Salts: Most Common Aluminum Phosphide AlP + 3H 2 O Al(OH) 3 + PH 3 Magnesium Phosphide Mg 3 P 2 + 6H 2 O 3Mg(OH) 2 + 2PH 3
11 Phosphine: Cheap, Easy and Effective Gas is light-weight; penetrates well Tablets/pellets are very economical Effective for most pests Corrosive to electrical fixtures Some insects are resistant,.. and it s spreading!

14 What is Insecticide Resistance? Resistance occurs when an insect has a genetically controlled trait that allows it to survive an exposure to a toxin that would normally kill others of the same species that lack that trait. Resistance is heritable. It can be selected quickly in a population with each fumigation. Once the proper genes are present each application of phosphine can lead to a resistant population!
15 Evolution of Resistance: One healthy insect is born with a mutation (DNA mistake at cell division) for resistance to a specific pesticide O=susceptible individual O=resistant individual
16 Evolution of Resistance: One healthy insect is born with a mutation (DNA mistake at cell division) for resistance to a specific pesticide Human selection: We apply insecticide to insects with the resistance gene(s); they live and mate with others who may/may not have the genes O=susceptible individual O=resistant individual
17 Evolution of Resistance: One healthy insect is born with a mutation (DNA mistake at cell division) for resistance to a specific pesticide Human selection: We apply insecticide to insects with the resistance gene(s); they live and mate with others who may/may not have the genes Repeated use of the insecticide selects for all resistant survivors in the population!!! O=susceptible individual O=resistant individual
18 Determine number of insects that are phosphine resistant or susceptible at a given location Need a dose that discriminates between susceptible, which die and survivors, which are resistant Test adults from a given population Test adults with the discriminating dose of gas for 20 hour fumigation Assess mortality after 14 days, to allow time for recovery or delayed mortality
19 Controlled Laboratory Fumigation Tests
20 Analyze Gas Concentration with Gas Chromatography

31 Can we control resistant beetles with more phosphine held for longer times??? Fumigate jars with all life stages egg, larvae, pupae, adults--like real world! Normal dose = 200 ppm PH 3 for 4 days Dose for resistant beetles = 600 ppm PH 3 for 6 days Count all survivors at the end of the fumigation, and then count daily for 42 days new adults may have been surviving eggs or larvae

33 Can resistance be easily determined? Try a simple knock-down test Tablets placed in canister w/50ml water; get 6000 ppm Dilute with air in knockdown chamber, to be approx ppm Count no. knocked down after given time period, such as 15 min
34 KSU Modified Test: Exactly 3000 ppm in glass tube; record time to Knock Down
35 Phosphine Resistance Management What do we do if we think we have a resistance problem? Should we expect that future use of phosphine for grain bins will simply not work that we will lose phosphine? Should we have some plan in place to prepare? Have other countries faced this same problem?
36 Managing Phosphine Resistance First:.Is there is a problem controlling insects? If resistance is suspected, stop using phosphine! Use a totally different fumigant or good grain protectant! ***New mode of action; must kill all PH3-resistant pests! PH 3 can be resumed only when problem is managed. Practice good stored grain IPM: prevention, sanitation, monitoring, targeted action.
37 ProFume Gas called Sulfuryl Fluoride (same as Vikane for termites) Registered for stored grain, flour mills, nuts, dried fruits, etc. Non-corrosive Alternative for PH 3 Resistance: totally different mode of action!
38 Alternatives to Current Fumigants Residual chemicals sprayed on grain Extreme Temperatures: Heat and Cold Below freezing or Near 100 F Controlled or modified atmospheric gases Reduce Oxygen, or increase CO 2
39 Modified Atmosphere with Cocoon: Low Oxygen and High CO 2
