The concerted effort to minimize post-harvest losses stands as a pivotal driver in the agricultural sector. Addressing the challenge of post-harvest food losses is imperative for ensuring global food security. These losses occur as freshly harvested agricultural produce undergoes changes during handling, emphasizing the need for effective preventive measures. Fumigation emerges as a crucial technique in this regard.


Ammonia gas fumigation, for instance, plays a significant role in controlling the decay of post-harvest citrus fruits. Additionally, it proves effective in managing post-harvest green mold and blue mold in lemons and oranges caused by Penicillium digitatum and Penicillium italicum, respectively. Fumigation technology thus serves as a key tool in preventing post-harvest losses and maintaining the quality of agricultural commodities.


Moreover, fumigation contributes to the comprehensive cleaning of storage areas, silos, and warehouses. This preventive method is employed both pre- and post-harvest, particularly in the storage of grains. The multifaceted benefits of fumigation underscore its role not only in pest prevention but also in safeguarding the integrity and quality of the entire agricultural supply chain.
