Further Development of Heat-based Methods for Disinfesting Flour Mills (AFM226) - FT1510
Description
A DEVELOPMENT PROJECT TO DEMONSTRATE A SOUND HEAT-BASED DISINFESTATIONS METHOD TO REPLACE METHYL BROMIDE USE IN FLOUR MILLS
Objective
1. To enable the findings of LINK project AFM93 (Alternatives to methyl bromide for pest control in structures) to be progressed to a point where the procedures will be accepted by industry;
2. To validate measures to improve efficacy of heat treatments in potential problem areas in flour mills;
3. To find the minimum lethal times for three common mill pests at 49-55 oC;
4. To produce a reliable framework for process management of heat-based mill disinfestation treatments.
