The control gas of the present invention is a gas having a control effect against pests, and a gas for suffocation or carbon dioxide gas can be used.
As a gas to be suffocated, a rare gas such as nitrogen gas or argon gas is used as a dilution gas that lowers the oxygen concentration to a lethal concentration or less by replacing it with oxygen in the air. As the gas concentration of the lethal concentration of nitrogen gas or rare gas, it is often necessary to replace with almost 100% air.
In the case of carbon dioxide gas, when the concentration is increased to 35% or more, a remarkable lethal action is often observed, and the treatment time is often shortened, which is preferable.

The bag according to the present invention is a container made of a flexible sheet for containing crops and gas for extermination, and can be folded into a small size when there is no content.
The shape of the bag body includes an upper surface, a bottom surface, and side surfaces. When the bag body is used in contact with the ground, or when the bottom surface is a separate member, the bottom surface portion is an opening portion. Moreover, you may provide the part which opens temporarily, replaces a crop, and closes again.

  The sheet forming the bag body is mainly made of a resin material, and has a thickness of about 0.05 to 0.8 mm, preferably about 0.1 to 0.5 mm, polyolefin, polyester, polyamide, polycarbonate. A transparent plastic film excellent in continuous film-forming properties such as acrylic resin can be used. In particular, a uniaxially or biaxially oriented film is preferable because it has excellent properties such as dimensional stability, mechanical properties, heat resistance, transparency, and electrical properties. Further, if necessary, other particles such as kaolin, talc, silicon dioxide, zeolite, aluminum oxide and the like may be blended in a small amount as long as the gist of the present invention is not impaired. In terms of light resistance, it is preferable that the sheet contains an ultraviolet absorber and a light stabilizer. As the ultraviolet absorber, benzotriazole, benzophenone, or the like can be used. A hindered amine or the like can be used as the light stabilizer. Moreover, you may mix | blend an antistatic agent, a lubricant, etc.

From the viewpoint of strength, heat retention, etc., it is preferable to use a laminated sheet in which layers having a plurality of functions are laminated, or to add a functional substance.
As a material to be laminated on the sheet, it is preferable that a cloth such as a woven fabric or a non-woven fabric is laminated so that the sheet has strength and is not easily torn. Examples of the raw material of the cloth include polyolefins, polyesters, polyamides, and the like. Polyolefins are preferable in terms of moldability and low cost, and specifically, high-density polyethylene, polypropylene, and the like are preferable.
In addition, a metal such as aluminum is formed on the surface of the resin film by vapor deposition, etc., and is bonded to the sheet directly or via a laminated material, thereby reflecting sunlight and suppressing temperature rise in the bag. The heat rays can be reflected to prevent heat from escaping from the inside of the bag. For the lamination, usual methods such as dry lamination, extrusion lamination, hot melt lamination, thermal lamination and the like can be used. In addition to a method of using an adhesive such as a solution, hot melt, or melted polyethylene as a laminating material, a method of applying pressure without applying a laminating material such as a thermal laminate can be used.
As functional substances to be added, if particles such as barium sulfate, titanium dioxide, silicon dioxide, calcium carbonate, etc. are used, the sheet is whitened, sunlight is reflected, and temperature rise in the bag can be suppressed.
