Phosphine (PH3) fumigation with different concentrations and exposure durations at low temperature was studied to determine its effects on Liriomyza huidobrensis Blanchard (Diptera: Agromyzidae) on carnations, and on postharvest quality. Laboratory tests showed that tolerance of L huidobrensis to phosphine fumigation at 5 degrees C varied with different life stages. 1 d-old eggs and adults showed the highest susceptibility, and 3 d-old eggs was the most tolerant stage. In the fumigation tests of 3 d-old eggs with a range of phosphine concentrations from 0.46 to 2.73 mg L-1 and exposure durations from 6 to 144 h at 5 degrees C, 85.96-282.08 h fumigation durations were required to achieve 99% mortality with different phosphine concentrations. The expression of C-0.77 T = k was obtained, which indicated that exposure duration other than phosphine concentration was the critical factor in the toxicity of phosphine against the 3 d-old eggs of L huidobrensis. Controlled atmosphere (CA) treatment with increased CO2 and reduced O-2 had synergistic effects on phosphine toxicity. Phosphine fumigation could achieve 100% mortality for insects of L. huidobrensis on carnation, and had no significant adverse effects on vase life and damage indices of carnation at 1.92 mg L-1 PH3 and 8% CO2 for 32 h, and at 3.44 mg L-1 for 3 d at 5 degrees C. All results suggested that phosphine fumigation at low temperature could be used as an alternative for postharvest control of L huidobrensis on carnations.
