Information Sessions were held with Plant Quarantine Officers on March 24 and April 3 2017 at Centeno. Methyl Bromide which is ozone depleting, is a gas which is used as a fumigant. As the country has phased out use of methyl bromide in non quarantine and pre shipment (since January 1, 2015), efforts are now being made to improve the use of alternatives to methyl bromide in quarantine and pre shipment (a use still allowed by the Montreal Protocol). Officers were apprised of different alternatives such as Vikane, Eco2Fume, Profume and Heat Treatment.
