摘要

A method and apparatus for disinfesting plant material in a chamber comprising a) a pesticide supply (2) for supplying a vaporising or aerosolised pesticide such as ethyl formate, b) a mixing device (3) for receiving and mixing the pesticide vapour or aerosol with a volume of diluent gas, and producing a first pesticide mixture, and c) a transfer system (4, 5) for introducing the first pesticide mixture into the chamber to form a second pesticide mixture. The chamber can be a greenhouse, silo or even a bag or box containing plant material.
