Application of Dimethyl Fumarate in Protecting Stored Tobacco against Mould

The effect of antimould dimethyl fumarate (DMF) were tested in tobacco storage by fumigation and direct application, respectively. The results showed that DMF had the advantages of good protective effect, simpler in han-dling and lower cost. The method of direct application could avoid possible allergic reaction on human body caused by DMF fumigation, hence it is preferable to be popularized.
