ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Disclosed is a method of treating an agricultural pro- duct, including the steps of placing the product within a storage container; providing a forced air supply to the container; introducing a gaseous chemical into the container, the particular chemical being selected for minimal sorption of the chemical by the product; and circulating the air and chemical mixture within the container through the product at a low rate of flow, utilizing the forced air supply, for a time sufficient to evenly distribute the chemical through- out the product volume. The rate at which the air is cir- culated is less than approximately .006 cfm/bu and is pref- erably maintained approximately between .0015 cfm/bu and .0008 cfm/bu. Hydrogen phosphide (phosphine) gas generated from aluminum phosphide is preferred as the chemical when the process is used for fumigation, but other gaseous fumi- gants exhibiting a low rate of sorption by agricultural products may also be used.
