| Product Name | Aluminum phosphide 56%TB |
| CAS No. | 20859-73-8 |
| Specification (COA) | Content: ≥56% | Ammonium carbamate: 24-31% |
| Mode of Action | Aluminum phosphide is absorbed quickly upon contact with water or acid, releasing highly toxic phosphine gas. It enters the insects' body through the respiratory system, acting on cytochrome oxidase of the mitochondrial respiratory chain to suppress normal breathing and cause mortality. |
| Targets | Pests, mice, leather pests |
| Crops | Used in sealed greenhouses, glass houses, and plastic sheds. Suitable for fumigation of grain, oilseeds, and dried potatoes. |

Aluminum Phosphide 56% TB is primarily used for fumigating stored grains, oilseeds, dried potatoes, and controlling pests and rodents in sealed warehouses, spaces, and greenhouses.
When exposed to water or acid, it releases phosphine gas. This gas enters the insect's body through the respiratory system, targeting cytochrome oxidase to inhibit breathing and effectively eliminate the pest.
For grain fumigation, the standard recommended application rate is 3-10 pieces per 1,000 kg depending on target pests and storage conditions.
Yes, it can be applied in sealed greenhouses, glass houses, and plastic sheds to control both aboveground and underground pests, mice, stem borers, and root nematodes.
It effective controls stored grain pests, mice, mites, lice, leather insects, feather moths, stem borers, and root nematodes.
