Central Life Sciences is introducing Gravista-D, an insecticide formulated for pests in stored grain.
The product is a ready-to-use solution that combines an adulticide with an insect growth regulator to kill a broad-spectrum of adult insects, such as weevils, Indian meal moths, sawtoothed grain beetles, red flour beetles, and the lesser grain borer.
“In our studies, Gravista-D insecticide helps to provide long-lasting insect control. We observed insect damage on 18% of the kernels after 90 days in untreated grain infested with lesser grain borers compared to virtually no insect damage on infested grain which had been treated with Gravista-D,” said Johnny Wilson of the Central Life Sciences technical services specialty agriculture division. “The use of Gravista-D Insecticide can yield a positive return on your investment.”
Gravista-D is CODEX approved for cereal grains and labeled for use in grain sorghum (milo), corn, popcorn, barley, oats, rice, rye and wheat. It can be applied as a pre-bin treatment and on post-harvest grain as it flows into storage for extended residual insect control.
“We’re proud to deliver an effective insect control product to help protect on-farm post-harvest stored grains,” said Nancy Stratinsky, Central Life Sciences senior business manager for the specialty agriculture division.
