For safe, chemical-free pest control in stored grains and seeds, operations can use NSPRIDUSTยฎ โ an abrasive powder made from natural diatomaceous earth. This non-chemical treatment protects grain quality without leaving toxic residues or creating pesticide resistance.
It works through a purely physical action: the fine powder abrades the protective waxy outer cuticle of invading insects, leading to fatal dehydration. The recommended dosage is 100 grams of powder per 100 kg of grain. It can be mixed by hand for small lots or added via mechanical grain mixers for large-scale operations.
