Northern and Southern region - Grain protectants prevent pests

Grain protectants are one of many management tools for preventing pests in stored grain and have a particular role in unsealed storage and seed storage.

Key points:

• Consider using grain protectants when gas-tight sealable storage is not available and to ensure security of planting seed.
• Grain protectants work best when combined with meticulous storage hygiene and aeration cooling.
• Stringent maximum residue limits (MRLs) leave no margin for error in application. Always check with your grain buyer before applying.
• Even coverage is required to reliably manage stored grain insects.
