- Abstract
There has been a notorious resistance to phosphine over the last decade, and a wide variety of factors can be associated with this rise to tolerance in stored products in the northwest of México, which can be due to bad exposition times and application of phosphine, and others causes; investigations were conducted in a warehouse place comparing the efficacy of phosphine with the use of mixtures gases in order to create the modified atmosphere against five diferrent adults: Cryptolestes ferrugineus (Stephens), Tribolium castaneum (Hbst.), Rhyzopertha dominica (Fabricius.), Oryzaephilus surinamensis (L.), and Prostephanus truncatus (Horn.). An application of 1.4 ± .21 gr/m3 of phosphine for 72 ± 1 h exposure time could achieve 100% mortality to four species just like: of Tribolium castaneum, Rhyzopertha dominica, Oryzaephilus surinamensis, and Prostephanus truncatus. While for C. ferrugineus the 100% mortality could be achieved after 4.2 ± 63 gr/m3 of phosphine for 120h exposure time.
