“…Application of MA with CO2 or N2 is well-known and has proven to be a residue free technique for disinfestation of the stored products. The use of atmospheric gases has been practiced for centuries as an alternative control measure for disinfestation of warehouse commodities because of their toxic effect on insects and their environmentally friendly properties (Nicolas and Sillans, 1989;Gunasekaran and Rajendran, 2005). Bailey (1965) has reported that most stored-product insects are killed by <3% O2 or >40% CO2 and that exposure to CO2 is required for several days for different species of insects at different life stages.…”

The efficacy of CO2 and N2 gases alone or in a mixture was tested against eggs, larvae, and pupae of the almond moth, Cadra cautella, a major date fruit pest, under temperature regimes of 5°C and 25°C. Our results indicated that exposing different stages to higher concentrations of CO2 significantly affected egg hatchability, larval mortality, and pupal mortality as compared to 100% N2 gas, at both temperature regimes. Application of CO2 at lower doses (below 50%) did not give 100% mortality of any developmental stage even at longer exposure timings. However, treatments at higher doses (75 and 100% CO2) were effective at 24 h and longer treatment duration. The application of 100% N2 did not effectively control C. cautella. Of all the stages, the larvae of C. cautella were most susceptible to the gases. Our results indicated that temperature has a significant effect on the efficacy of gases or their combinations tested after an exposure of 48 h and longer. Based on current findings, we conclude that CO2 gas is a good candidate for successful control of C. cautella immature stages under storage conditions and can be a potential alternative to highly toxic methyl bromide.

“…However, these fumigants have serious issues. For example, methyl bromide has been declared an ozone depleting chemical and has been banned in developed countries since 2005(UNEP, 1997. It is scheduled to be banned worldwide in 2015 in accordance with the Montreal Protocol (Schneider et al, 2003).…”

Platydema waterhousei is a beetle that infests the economically important Rishi mushroom. The toxic effects of four controlled atmospheres to each of the life stages of Platydema waterhousei were investigated. The atmospheres used were 100, 80, 60, and 0% CO 2 with N 2 making up the remainder. The atmosphere containing 80% CO 2 was more toxic to eggs than pure CO 2 and N 2 . Pure CO 2 was the most lethal to larvae, pupae, and adults. Pupae were the most resistant life stage to all treated gases. Adults were more sensitive than eggs and larvae in pure CO 2 and N 2 atmospheres. Adults as well as eggs were more susceptible than larvae when they were exposed to 60% CO 2 . Eggs were more sensitive than adults and larvae when they were held under 80% CO 2 . The best control of all life stages could be achieved by exposing to 80% CO 2 for 3 days or to 100% CO 2 for 4 days.

“…Hence it is necessary to develop alternative pest control techniques for protecting stored commodities (Gunasekaran and Rajendran 2005). Toward this end, intensified efforts have lead to an increasing number of research studies to find safe, effective and viable alternatives (Tapondjou et al 2002).…”
