disinfestation

Disinfestation services.

Mangosteens can be infested with the dread insect, and until recently, no safe way to assure "disinfestation," as the bureaucrats call it, had been found.

Other soil disinfestation practices under investigation, or in which interest has been expressed, include steam sterilization, solarization, and paving of infested areas.

Electron Beam processing as a disinfestation method replaces antiquated environmentally unfriendly methods such as fumigation and chemical dipping.

Environmentally friendly pest and disease treatments and grading technologies - Heat treatment (water or air) for insect disinfestation or pathogen reduction.

While the disinfestation and explant excision processes differ for these three techniques, many of the factors that contribute to the successful recovery of viable plants are similar.

A variety of chemical options have been tested for soil disinfestation, including such chemicals as chloropicrin, metham sodium, iodomethane and dazomet.

Attendees received a badge stating DAS- Disinfestation Annihilation Squad (logo of the villains from this film).

Soil solarization is the third approach for soil disinfestation; the two other main approaches, soil steaming and fumigation; were developed at the end of the 19th century.

He has developed processes for purifying alcohol, creating a new product at ethanol plants, and keeping exotic species out of coastal waters through disinfestation of ballast water with bromine production through ozonation.

Low dose applications such as disinfestation of fruit range between US$0.01/lbs and US$0.08/lbs while higher dose applications can cost as much as US$0.20/lbs.

E-beam processing has been used for the sterilization of medical products and aseptic packaging materials for foods as well as disinfestation, the elimination of live insects from grain, tobacco, and other unprocessed bulk crops.

It includes data on both the radiation dose required for the disinfestation of generic commodity groups, fresh and durable, and also the radiation dose used to induce sterility for pest control through the sterile insect technique.

If administered at appropriate levels, all of these forms of radiation can be used to sterilize objects, a technique used in the production of medical instruments and disposables, such as syringes as well as in the disinfestation and sterilization of food.

James Parker, director of the northern Pacific region for Whole Foods, a Texas-based chain, told The San Francisco Chronicle that he welcomed the phase-out of methyl bromide disinfestation that irradiation might help make possible, but would not carry irradiated produce.

In the 1950s, for example, steam sterilization technologies expanded from disinfestation of potting soil and greenhouse mixes to commercial production of steam rakes and tractor-drawn steam blades for fumigating small acres of cut flowers and other high-value field crops (Langedijk 1959).

Apart from storage and handling, CWC offers services in the area of clearing & forwarding, handling & transportation, procurement & distribution, disinfestation services, fumigation services, consultancy services/ training for the construction of warehousing infrastructure to different agencies and other ancillary activities.
