Hundreds of thousands of pounds of fumigant products are used world wide every year to assure stored grains and imported goods are free of devastating insect pests. Every major port of entry has active privately operated fumigation facilities that are mandated by USDA inspectors that issue fumigation directives for a multitude of shipping containers carrying everything from electronic products to furniture and produce. All items packaged with wood products are susceptible to wood boring insects, and produce is doubly inspected, for not only the wood pallets upon which they are stacked, but also the commodity itself as host material for fruit flies, beetles and related crop pests. All of this imported material must be fumigated by professional fumigators before entry into the United States and with the loss of methyl bromide, the list of available replacement products is short and non-inclusive of all uses. This has created opportunities for small and medium sized manufacturers of specialty products to develop replacement products that can effectively compete in the world market and offer ports of entry cost effective and environmentally sound alternatives to methyl bromide. Pacific Ag Research has the facilities, substrates, permits, and test species to develop these alternative products for the manufacturer wishing to pursue this market. In addition, we have excellent business and personal contacts in the industry to conduct field trials at ports of entry for scale up tests following successful bioassays and small scale trails in the laboratory. In short, there is great potential and need in the industry for products in the market with high levels of efficacy and low risk potential to users. We can also assist in familiarization with the market and the design of protocols for product development and conduct of trials for products in either early or later stages development.
