MagnaPhosTM fumigant is acted upon by atmospheric moisture to produce Phosphine (PH3) gas. MagnaPhosTM Plates and Tablets contain Magnesium Phosphide as their active ingredient & liberate Phosphine via the following reaction:
MagnaPhosTM decomposes much faster than Aluminium Phosphide (QuickPhosTM). The maximum concentration of Phosphine is reached in 24 - 36 hours depending on ambient temperature & humidity.
MagnaPhosTM is most commonly used fumigant for the control of stored tobacco, stored grain pests particularly when the temperatures are low and when quick release of Phosphine gas is desired.
