Grain Care Services

| One of the keys to successful grain care is regular monitoring of temperature and moisture levels as well as any initial signs of insect infestations. Early detection will result in less spoilage and could in some cases be more cost effective to resolve. Adopting an annual policy of thorough grain store cleaning before harvest and then applying an appropriate insecticide to the internal fabric of the store before storage will greatly reduce the chances of insect infestation. |
Fumigation (insect infestations in grain and bulk commodities) A service designed to control all life stages of infesting insects from eggs to adults. The technique involves the use of phosphine gas under strict and regulated conditions. The result of which allows your commodity to become saleable again and unlike the use of insecticide dusts or sprays, phosphine does not leave any detectable residues.
• TIPS FOR INSECT DETECTION
1.
| Look out for ‘Hot Spot’ areas – high temperatures will increase breeding activity | 2.
| Look out for ‘Hard or Tight’ grain – this sometimes will indicate higher differences in moisture/temp | | 3. | Up to 70% of infestations in flat stores originate from the rear – first loads to be combined | | 4. | If you find what appear to be dead insects, warm them up – if they are alive the heat will make them active | | 5. | Make sure your monitoring traps are varied across the grain heap – not just at convenient locations |
