The pestcide EDT (Ethylene Dibromide Dibromoethane) was used extensively as a soil and post-harvest fumigant for crops, as for a quarantine fumigant for citrus and tropical fruits and vegetables, and as a fumigant for turf, especially on golf courses. It may be used as a gas in termite and Japanese beetle control, beehive and vault fumigation, and spot fumigation of milling machinery. Ethylene dibromide is also used as an intermediate for dyes, resins, waxes, and gums. Can you tell me what the properties of this pesticide are, when it was developed, and maybe some of the history on it.
