大弯合作社结束了六年的小麦害虫侵扰

CASE STUDY

由于春季种植季节与天气有关的延误影响了全国各地的农民，许多小麦存储设施将保留最新的供应量以最大程度地提高农作物利润。堪萨斯州的大弯道合作社也不例外。但是直到最近，全方位服务的农业公司的小麦存储选择仍非常有限。

“For the last six years, we’ve had nothing but problems managing bugs in the wheat,” says Dennis Neeland, operations manager for Great Bend Co-Op. The company was forced to alter its treatment process following the 2005 government ban on pesticides containing methyl bromide. “We always had to move as much wheat as possible right after the harvest because we had limited storage options. We were leaving money on the table.”

对于大弯的大小，这是一笔大量的钱。该合作社成立于1959年，一年级销售额不到一百万美元，并已成长为一家提供全方位服务的农业公司，拥有70多名员工和近1.2亿美元的年销售额。如今，大弯合作社由十个分支机构组成，在堪萨斯州中部的巴顿和斯塔福德县拥有谷物电梯，存储容量超过700万蒲式耳。除了存储小麦，米洛，玉米，大豆和燕麦外，该公司还经营着饲料部门和农场商店。

“虫子的损失是在我们必须存储的所有小麦上花费了我们的钱，”侵扰的大弯总经理弗兰克·里德尔（Frank Riedl）说，主要由较小的谷物钻孔和红面粉谷物甲虫组成。“对于像我们这样存储近100万蒲式耳的公司，我们正在寻找超过50,000美元的损失。”

That was before area manager Doug Crook learned of DiaconII Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) from the Professional Agriculture Division of Central Life Sciences. He had heard of others in the industry finding success with the product, and Great Bend Co-Op decided to try DiaconIGR在2010年初在其存储设施中。

“ DiConIGR对我们来说非常出色，当我们第一批谷物熄灭时，我们能够与零昆虫受损的核（IDK）一起运送。”克鲁克说。“我们始终尽力清洁存储区域并尝试了几种不同的前提喷雾剂，但是我们使用的没有杀虫剂具有Diacon IGR的残留物。”

罗斯说：“我不断监视小麦，我很高兴发现什么都没有动。”“小麦的条件非常好。”

“ DiConIGRhas allowed us to maximize our profits by keeping us pest free,” says Riedl.

DiConII IGR, a liquid formulation, and Diacon-D IGR, a dry formulation, are EPA-approved, tolerance exempt insect growth regulators (IGR) used to control stored product insects by breaking the insect life cycle and preventing larvae from maturing into adults. Diacon-D IGR is a dry formulation with versatile applications, including direct-to-grain or empty premise treatment. DiaconII IGR can be applied directly to grain or used in fogging applications and is approved virtually everywhere stored product insects are a problem — farm storage, large silos, peanut bins, food processing facilities and more.
