Sumitomo Celphos Aluminium Phosphide 56% Tablet Fumigant for Stored Grain Pest Control

Sumitomo Celphos is a highly effective Aluminium Phosphide 56% Tablet Fumigant designed for the control of stored grain insect pests in warehouses, godowns, silos and storage structures. On exposure to atmospheric moisture, Celphos releases phosphine gas that penetrates deep into stored commodities and eliminates insects at different life stages.

Celphos is widely used across the world for fumigation of cereals, pulses, oilseeds, spices and other stored agricultural commodities. The fumigation process provides reliable protection without adversely affecting the quality of properly fumigated produce when used according to label directions.

Mode of Action

When Aluminium Phosphide tablets come into contact with atmospheric moisture, they release phosphine gas (PH₃). The gas spreads throughout the sealed storage structure and enters insects through respiration, disrupting cellular energy production. This results in effective control of insects at multiple life stages during fumigation.
