Biofumigation Technology for Protection of Stored Pulses (1 Tonne Capacity)  From Insect Pests

Biofumigation technology provides a sustainable, eco-friendly solution for protecting stored pulses from insect pests by using natural bioactive compounds derived from plants like mustard, neem, and garlic. It eliminates the need for synthetic pesticides and chemical fumigants, ensuring residue-free, safe storage that meets organic and food safety standards. This approach preserves grain quality, extends shelf life, and prevents pest resistance. Cost-effective and scalable, it benefits farmers, traders, and storage operators by reducing post-harvest losses and enhancing market value. Biofumigation aligns with consumer demand for clean, green technologies in food systems, supporting both environmental sustainability and economic efficiency.

Biofumigation technology is applied in storage facilities to protect pulses from insect pests using naturally occurring volatile compounds released from biofumigant plants like mustard, neem, or garlic. These compounds act as natural insect repellents or toxins, disrupting pest activity without leaving harmful residues. Ideal for use in warehouses, silos, and farm-level storage, this method is particularly valuable in organic and sustainable agriculture. It enhances the safety, quality, and shelf life of stored pulses while complying with eco-friendly and food-safe standards.

Biofumigation offers an eco-friendly, chemical-free method to protect stored pulses from insect pests. Utilizing natural plant-based compounds, it minimizes toxic residues and preserves grain quality. It’s safe for human health, reduces environmental impact, and prevents pest resistance. Cost-effective and sustainable, this technology supports organic storage practices and enhances food safety and marketability of stored pulses.
