Processing of finished products of a food by damp way isn’t made for sanitary reasons. Now the list of the preparations resolved for application, two fumigant enter actually: bromic methyl and fosfin.

The task of identification of quarantine organisms is assigned to points on quarantine of plants. The Evpatoriysky point regularly surveys the West Crimean elevator. Results of inspection showed that now the elevator is free from this quarantine wrecker.
