Phostoxin Tablets – Trusted Fumigant for Comprehensive Stored Product Pest Control
Phostoxin Tablets are a highly effective fumigant insecticide designed for the protection of stored agricultural commodities and pest control in storage environments. Containing aluminium phosphide as the active ingredient, Phostoxin releases phosphine gas (PH₃) upon exposure to moisture, providing deep penetration and complete eradication of insect pests at all life stages—eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults.
Phostoxin is widely used in grain storage and post-harvest pest management, offering reliable disinfestation for a broad range of commodities including grains, pulses, dried fruits, oilseeds, and tobacco. The tablets can be safely applied in gas-tight enclosures such as silos, sealed rooms, containers, or under gasproof sheets, making them ideal for commercial warehouses, farms, food processing units, and export preparation facilities.
