SO2
Slow Release
t SUPER MARKET
Ca. 2-5 ppm continuously
Postharvest use of sulfur dioxide
applied by chamber fumigation or by
continuous emission inside packages
to control decay
How does sulfur dioxide control fungi?
What is a part per million?
• In this application it is a volume to volume
term, usually “ppm” is used, sometimes
“ppmv”. One volume in 1 million volumes = 1
ppm
One cubic foot in one million cubic feet equals one parts per million
Once you get the pounds per one million cubic feet, multiply it by
1,000,000 divided by your room volume
0.999966351
Formula 32F ppm = lbs SO2 applied times 0.182 lbs per ppm times (1,000,000 cu ft/actual room volume cu ft)
How to use dosimeters
• Watch red cultivars carefully – some bleach
easily, so use the recommended dose
