Centynal™ EC Insecticide
Centynal™ EC Insecticide kills a broad spectrum of stored product insects, including Indian meal moths, lesser grain borers, sawtoothed grain beetles, granary weevils, rice weevils and more. The product is CODEX approved for use on rice, wheat, corn and more.
PBO-8® Synergist

LONG-TERM STORAGE
For grain that will be stored longer than 90 days, an insect growth regulator or a combination of an IGR and insecticide can help control both adult and larval stages of insects.
Diacon® IGR
Diacon® IGR is the standard in long-term insect protection for stored grains. The active ingredient prevents larvae from maturing into adults, interrupting the lifecycle for a broad spectrum of stored product insects. This versatile liquid formulation is labeled for all stored commodities. The product is EPA tolerance exempt and CODEX approved.

This convenient all-in-one formulation can be applied directly to grains or to empty bins and warehouses. For the control of weevils, PBO-8® Synergist makes an ideal tank-mix partner.
