Crop protection doesn’t end in the field

by | Oct 14, 2024 | 5 Ag Stories, News

We talk about what we need to do to protect our crops in the fields. We use various tools meant to protect our hard work from weeds, disease, and insects. We invest a lot of money into the plants we grow in the field and don’t want to see that investment endangered. However it’s not the corn and soybean plants that make us the money, but rather the seeds that they produce. We don’t sell bushels of bean pods or corn silks, we sell grain. So why are farmers putting so much not crop protection in the fields, but not thinking about crop protection in the bin?

Grain protectants are a product that doesn’t always get talked about, and the folks at Central Life Sciences are doing all they can to change that. Grain can sometimes sit in our bins for weeks and even months, so why not do all you can to protect it? Dr. Johnny Wilson is with Central Life Sciences and he explains the benefits of grain protectants.

When we are talking about insect damage in the bin, we are looking at a few different options. First, it’s a preventative option.

But what about insects that are already mature? That is where reactionary options work.

But why not have a product that does both jobs at the same time? That is where full-control options come in. That is what Central Life Sciences is offering in Gravista and Gravista-D products. Dr. Wilson explains more.

Dr. Wilson says the testing has yielded some very positive results.
