Extraction of allyl isothiocyanate from horseradish (<i>Armoracia rusticana</i>) and its fumigant insecticidal activity on four stored‐product pests of paddy

Abstract

The results suggest good insecticidal efficacy of AITC against the four stored-product pests, with non-gaseous residuals on stored products. AITC obtained from A. rusticana may be an alternative to phosphine and methyl bromide against the four pest species.
