Answer to Question 1

Propane or natural gas.

Answer to Question 2

VIF film, by reducing escape of gas to the atmosphere through the film
during exposure time, allows for use of lower dose rates of the fumigant gas. The
recent surge in price of methyl bromide and very high price of methyl iodide
necessitates this economy.
