EPA-APPROVED, POST-HARVEST ORGANIC COMMODITIES FUMIGATION

IGI Carbon Dioxide (IGI CO₂) is approved for the treatment of agricultural commodities against a wide variety of pests. IGI CO₂ is registered by the EPA and can be used in organic post-harvest applications. It is not an organic gas, but it is certified for use post-crop harvest to fumigate the producer’s crops. Fumigation with IGI CO₂ leaves nothing behind after proper venting, nor does it affect the taste of fumigated product. The active ingredient in IGI is 99.9% CO₂. It is non-flammable, invisible and odorless.

Did You Know?

CO₂ must be registered by the EPA to be used as a fumigation pesticide. The use of CO₂ as a pesticide is consistent with the protocols and ideologies of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and can be considered as a sustainable pest control strategy.

Fumigation Time

With IGI CO₂, treatment hold times vary from 24 hours to 4 days. Use a 2-day treatment for killing adult insects and a 4-day treatment for killing all life stages of insects.
