EDN® is an ozone-friendly alternative to methyl bromide. Its advantages are better penetration characteristics, higher efficacy and shorter application time. EDN® limits the risks of pests and disease spreading, within the agricultural and timber industry. It can be used to sterilize soil and control insects, diseases, nematodes, weeds and other parasites, before planting. It can also be used to fumigate harvested timber and logs. Its excellent penetration characteristics and high efficacy make EDN® a great solution for eliminating wood-boring insects in timber as well as pathogens and nematodes which present a direct biosecurity risk to many importing countries.
BLUEFUME® is a nonselective biocide that is used for structural fumigation (i.e., industrial buildings and processing plants, flour mills, ships, airplanes etc.) and for fumigation of commodities and fresh produce (i.e., bananas, pineapples, cut flowers etc.), in preparation for shipment.
BLUEFUME® is effective in very low dosages and rapidly acting, requiring a short application time in order to achieve desirable results, which will reduce overall user costs. BLUEFUME® makes sure that parasites are not part of imported goods.

BRONZE SPONSOR - ZYTHOR® Gas Fumigant
Zythor will also be conducting their stewardship training on Wednesday 13th September 2023.
ZYTHOR® Gas Fumigant (sulfuryl fluoride) is registered for use exclusively by licensed fumigators who partake in the Ensystex ZYTHOR Gas Fumigant Product Stewardship program.
Fumigation is a very specialised form of pest control. It is used to control those pests that cannot be easily or effectively controlled any other way. The active ingredient in ZYTHOR is sulfuryl fluoride, commonly referred to as SF. ZYTHOR is a non-flammable, odourless, colourless gas that rapidly penetrates and distributes quickly. It’s also non-corrosive, making it the smarter fumigant solution for sensitive areas with modern equipment and electronic devices present.
ZYTHOR provides broad-spectrum control of stored product pests and quarantine pests, with superior penetration of airspaces and food commodities, coupled with low sorption into these commodities. It leaves no unpleasant odours or off-flavours.
ZYTHOR is not an ozone depleter, which makes it an ideal alternative to methyl bromide. It is also the perfect fumigant to use as a resistance-breaker in grain storages where phosphine is routinely used. ZYTHOR provides for flexible exposure times depending on your facility goals, with rates controlled using our Fumicalc™ Program.
Please thank your conference sponsors and trade exhibitors.
