How Diacon IGR Optimizes Stored Grain Insect Control

Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs) have emerged as one of the most effective forms of stored grain insect control. Featuring S-methoprene, IGRs from Central Life Sciences disrupt the insects’ life cycles by interrupting larval development to reduce spread inside stored grain and across operations.

The Diacon^® IGR family of products can be used everywhere stored product insects are a problem. They can be used on all stored grains, spices, feed and seeds including those used for animal and human consumption.

From commercial elevators and on-site farm storage to food processing facilities and everywhere in between, Diacon^® IGR products go where insects are to provide long-term control and profit protection.
