摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fumigant for parasitic nematodes in timber, which substitutes for methyl bromide which is an ozone-depleting substance whose use is regulated worldwide, and a method for fumigating timber.;SOLUTION: The fumigant for the parasitic nematodes in timber uses methyl iodide dissolved in liquid carbon dioxide either alone or in combination with at least one compound chosen from sulfuryl fluoride, methyl isothiocyanate, phosphine, ethylene oxide, carbonyl sulfide and propylene oxide. In the method for fumigating timber, the parasitic nematodes in timber are killed using these fumigants.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
