Suspend™ SC Label Amended to Include Stored Grain Pest Control in All States Research Triangle Park, N.C. - March 27, 2006 - Bayer Environmental Science has announced that the Suspend™ SC label has been amended to include stored grain pest control. Suspend SC may now be used by professionals in all states to control the following stored grain pests: lesser grain borer, larger grain borer, angoumois grain moth, Indian meal moth, tobacco moth, dermestids and the bean weevil. Suspend SC will also suppress populations of the granary weevil, rice weevil, maize weevil, sawtoothed grain beetle, red flour beetle and confused flour beetle.Suspend SC can be applied directly to grain, seed and surfaces of empty grain bins and warehouses, killing insects as they move about or feed on grain or seed. Suspend SC can also be applied as a perimeter treatment to help prevent insect infestations of grain bins and warehouses. Grain and seeds listed on the label include barley, corn, oats, popcorn, rice, rye, sorghum and wheat.
"Although Suspend can be now be utilized as a grain protectant, its main use will be as an empty grain bin, warehouse and perimeter spray. An effective stored grain protectant, such as Storcide II™, will be more ideally suited for direct application to stored grain and seed, due to its length of activity and performance," says Michael Newhouse, GIC Market Manager for Bayer Environmental Science. "When Storcide II is unavailable, Suspend SC is a cost effective, short-term option to protect stored grain and seed."
