Fumigants are highly efficient class of pesticides due to their unique physicochemical properties,strong diffusion,distribution and penetration capabilities,and have a unique fumigation mode to exert pesticide activity.In this paper,the mode of action of several common fumigants:methyl bromide,chloropicrin,dazomet,1,3-dichloropropene,metam-sodium,dimethyl disulfide,allyl isothiocyanate,methyl isothiocyanate,methyl iodide,sulfuryl fluoride,and aluminium phosphide were elaborated and classified in different aspects,with a view to providing theoretical bases for the research and development of fumigant and its application.
