Pesticides and fumigation

Pesticides, fumigants and diatomaceous earth for either structural or grain treatments must always be used in accordance with label instructions and as part of an integrated approach to pest management. This is important as there is a limited number of chemicals with which to control pests in grain stores and some, for example DEs, are not acceptable to some processors.

	TS86	Use of chemicals in integrated grain storage (2005) Considers an integrated approach to grain storage without chemicals and also covers chemical treatment for fabric and as a grain protectant under certain circumstances
