 Who is eligible to obtain or use phosphine gas?
Everyone requires certification to purchase phosphine gas products. Recognized certification includes both the Farmer Pesticide Certificate and Fumigation Pesticide Applicator certificate. Both must receive the Grain Fumigation factsheet from the vendor.
