Aluminum Phosphide is a highly toxic inorganic compound with the chemical formula AlP, which can be used as a wide energy gap semiconductor and fumigant. This colorless solid usually appears as gray-green or gray-yellow powder on the market because of impurities produced by hydrolysis and oxidation.

Aluminum phosphide is usually used as a broad-spectrum fumigation pesticide, mainly used to fumigate and kill storage pests of goods, various pests in spaces, grain storage pests, seed grain storage pests, outdoor rodents in caves, etc. . After aluminum phosphide absorbs water, it will immediately produce highly toxic phosphine gas, which enters the body through the respiratory system of insects (or mice and other animals) and acts on the respiratory chain and cytochrome oxidase of cell mitochondria, inhibiting their normal respiration and causing death. . In the absence of oxygen, phosphine is not easily inhaled by insects and does not show toxicity. In the presence of oxygen, phosphine can be inhaled and kill insects. Insects exposed to high concentrations of phosphine will suffer from paralysis or protective coma and reduced respiration. Preparation products can fumigate raw grains, finished grains, oil crops, dried potatoes, etc. When fumigating seeds, their moisture requirements vary with different crops.

In sealed warehouses or containers, all kinds of stored grain pests can be directly eliminated, and mice in the warehouse can be killed. Even if pests appear in the granary, they can also be killed well. Phosphine can also be used to treat mites, lice, leather clothing, and down moths on items in homes and stores, or to avoid pest damage. Used in sealed greenhouses, glass houses, and plastic greenhouses, it can directly kill all underground and above-ground pests and mice, and can penetrate into plants to kill boring pests and root nematodes. Sealed plastic bags with thick texture and greenhouses can be used to treat open flower bases and export potted flowers, killing nematodes underground and in the plants and various pests on the plants.
Grain silos and warehouses: sealed storage fumigation programs run by trained, licensed personnel.
Sealed containers and stacks: controlled conditions after structural sealing and monitoring protocols.
Rodent burrows or specialized settings: only where permitted by local regulation and label.
Important: This is a hazardous fumigant. No operational instructions or dosage guidance are provided here. Always follow the registered product label and local regulations, and ensure only trained, licensed professionals plan and conduct fumigation.
