Like phosphine, initial testing of ProFume on various seed varieties at maximum label rates, including corn, cotton, grass, wheat, soybeans and rice, demonstrates insignificant impact on seed germination. Furthermore, no significant interaction between the fumigant and tested seed treatments have been observed. In addiiton, ProFume has many advantages: • It penetrates swiftly, provides quick control of stored product pests, and aerates rapidly. • It offers a flexible application period–in some cases in as few as 12 hours–so you can choose timing that suits your business needs. • It is useful in alleviating pesticide resistance issues. • ProFume is non-corrosive and non-flammable so it will not damage equipment, electronics and/or buildings when used properly. • It does not produce odors and there are no disposa
