Ethylene dibromide residue studies in stored maize grain

Creators

  • 1. Ghana Atomic Energy Commission, Accra

Description

Maize grains were fumigated with 14C-ethylene dibromide according to fumigation practices in Ghana. 14C-residues declined to 12 mg/kg after 40 weeks, of which 5 mg/kg was methanol-extractable, the remaining being bound. The importance of proper airing after fumigation has been clearly demonstrated. (author)
