Abstract
7,200 tablets of aluminum phosphide were laid on the floor around 2,400 tons of bagged cocoa beans in a warehouse designed to be airtight. An even distribution of gas was obtained but considerable leakage appeared to have occurred as a c x t product (mg h x l) of between five and six was obtained instead of the 11 to 16 expected from previous tests. A good kill of insects was obtained.
