This book details a series of experiments conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of various methods used in the 1950s to fumigate stored raisins in commercial quantities to prevent insect infestation and damage. The author describes the methods used to fumigate stacks of raisins using paper and tarpaulin covers, as well as permanent plywood and sheet iron chambers. The book also includes data on the concentration of fumigant present in the enclosures at intervals following fumigation and explores the effect of weathering on the gas-retaining properties of the paper covers. The results of the experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of all the methods tested in retaining sufficient fumigant to kill all insects. The book provides valuable insights into the development and effectiveness of fumigation techniques used to protect stored raisins from insect damage in the mid-20th century. This information is particularly relevant for those interested in the history of pest control and food preservation.
