How does anisole compare to other fumigants in terms of efficacy and safety?

Label:chem

Topic
Current fumigants like methyl bromide are being phased out due to environmental concerns, and alternatives like ethyl formate and sulfuryl fluoride have limitations in terms of phytotoxicity and efficacy.
Answer
Anisole fumigation demonstrated stronger efficacy than methyl benzoate, another essential oil tested for pest control. It achieved complete control of pests at lower concentrations and shorter exposure times compared to traditional fumigants. Additionally, anisole is expected to be safer for fumigated products and the environment due to its natural origin and lower phytotoxicity.
