<p>A method and apparatus for killing most pests and disease on produce such as live, dead or inert fruit, vegetables, flowers, ornamental crops and other products or material. The method includes the step of treating the products or material in a vacuum chamber with a gas fumigant and/or an oxygen depleting gas for a period sufficient to kill the pest(s) after the vacuum chamber has been evacuated to the required level. The vacuum level may never achieve an absolute level where water boils off the surface of a water bearing produce or material.</p> |
