The benefits of pre-harvest treatment
-
Prevention is more effective than cure
Treating an empty, clean grain store is one of the most effective ways to control stored-grain pests. Pre-harvest treatments reduce the risk of infestations becoming established later in the season.
-
Protection from day one of storage
Grain entering a properly prepared store is protected from the outset. Residual insecticides on surfaces help control insects already present and those introduced with incoming grain, reducing the chances of them establishing and multiplying.
-
Better storage conditions throughout the season
A properly prepared store creates good conditions for grain preservation. Clean surfaces help ventilation systems operate effectively, sealed gaps reduce the risk of moisture ingress, and removing pest hotspots lowers the risk of localised heating within the grain bulk.
-
Reduced need for in-store treatments
Proactive preparation can significantly reduce the likelihood of requiring fumigation or other interventions during the storage period. This saves money and helps keep grain operations running without disruption.
-
Support for assurance scheme compliance
Farm assurance programmes and quality standards require documented pest management. Pre-harvest treatment demonstrates a professional, proactive approach that satisfies auditors.
-
Peace of mind during the busy harvest period
Knowing your store is properly prepared allows you to focus on harvesting and drying operations, confident that storage conditions won't compromise your crop.
-
Protection of grain quality and value
Insect-free storage helps preserve the quality, bushel weight, and market value of your crop, reducing loss from insect consumption and contamination.
