Celphos Insecticide Fumigant Powder

Celphos Fumigant Insecticide – Aluminium Phosphide 56%

Celphos Fumigant Insecticide is an aluminium phosphide-based fumigant intended for the management of insect pests affecting stored agricultural commodities. It contains Aluminium Phosphide 56% and is designed for use in properly sealed storage environments under controlled fumigation conditions.

Unlike conventional crop-spray insecticides, Celphos is intended for stored commodity and grain pest management. It is relevant for storage situations involving commodities such as wheat, rice and other agricultural produce where stored-product insects can cause quality and quantity losses.

Important: Aluminium phosphide releases highly toxic phosphine gas when exposed to moisture. Fumigation should only be carried out according to the approved product label and by appropriately trained or authorized personnel.

Product Overview

Key Benefits

• Helps control insect pests associated with stored agricultural commodities.
• Suitable for controlled fumigation of stored grain environments.
• Aluminium phosphide generates phosphine gas under appropriate conditions.
• Useful for grain and commodity storage pest management.
• Helps reduce losses caused by stored-product insect infestation.
• Designed for use in properly sealed fumigation environments.
• Supports protection of stored agricultural commodities when used according to the approved label.

Why Choose Celphos Fumigant Insecticide?

• Formulated with Aluminium Phosphide 56% for stored-product fumigation.
• Designed specifically for stored commodity pest management rather than foliar crop spraying.
• Useful for managing insect pests in appropriately sealed storage environments.
• Phosphine gas can penetrate storage spaces and reach insect pests in stored commodities.
• Suitable for professional and controlled grain-storage fumigation when permitted by the product label.
• Can help protect stored agricultural commodities from insect-related losses.

Mode of Action

Celphos contains Aluminium Phosphide 56%, which releases phosphine gas under appropriate conditions during fumigation. The gas acts on susceptible stored-product insects and interferes with their essential respiratory and cellular processes.

Because phosphine is highly toxic to humans and animals as well as insects, fumigation requires strict control of the treatment area, exposure period, aeration and re-entry according to the official label and applicable regulations.

Technical Composition

Suitable Stored Commodities

• Other agricultural commodities permitted by the product label
• Grain-storage facilities and approved storage environments

Always verify the registered commodity, storage situation and permitted use on the current product label before application.

Dosage & Application

10 g per metric ton of stored commodity in air-tight condition

The current approved label/leaflet must be followed for:

• Permitted commodities
• Fumigation conditions
• Treatment duration
• Sealing requirements
• Aeration requirements

Only trained and authorized personnel should conduct aluminium phosphide fumigation.

Why Farmers and Storage Operators Prefer This Product

Celphos is relevant to farmers, grain traders and storage operators who need specialized protection against stored-product insect pests. Its fumigation-based approach is different from conventional surface insecticide spraying and is intended for controlled treatment of approved stored commodities.

When used correctly and according to the approved label, fumigation can help protect stored grain from pest-related quality and quantity losses.
