Protect harvested grain for up to 12 months and grain storage facilities against insects
Protect what nature provides
K-Obiol™ is a modern liquid pyrethroid formulation containing deltamethrin, synergised with piperonyl butoxide for the control of a wide variety of stored product insects known to infest grain and pulses. This pyrethroid formulation is an ideal alternative to organophosphate formulations. Available in two formulations a single admixture treatment can provide protection for up to 12 months.
With unrivalled efficacy against the most common insect pests K-Obiol™ is the product of choice for the treatment of grain storage facilities and as an admixture for longer term grain storage. Used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach K-Obiol™ will provide the highest level of protection for your valuable stored crops.
Primary pests | Secondary pests Secondary storage insects such as australian spider beetles, booklice and fungus beetles will sometimes invade from nearby habitats such as haystacks. The secondary pests develop on grain that has been already damaged by physical or biological action e.g broken or mouldy grain or previously infested by primary insects. |
The basics of IPM
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a program of prevention, monitoring, and control strategies to limit the pest damage by the most economical means possible and with the least environmental impact which could lead to a reduction in chemical pesticides used.

-
The building has to be free from last year’s grain and debris.
-
Buildings must be made weatherproof. All roof leaks, broken sheeting, guttering should be repaired.
-
Cracks, crevices and damage to the building structure should be repaired.
-
All grain store walls, floors and horizontal surfaces of any storage, holding or reception facility must be cleaned and where appropriate washed.
-
Where livestock buildings are intended for use as grain storage or temporary holding facilities at least 5 weeks prior to storage they must be thoroughly cleaned, power washed and sanitised with a combined detergent/approved disinfectant.
-
Ensure that the building is vermin proof, sealing up holes, repairing doors and brick works.
-
There are three things that should be monitored weekly during storage:
- Insect activity using pit fall traps or bait bags (not containing nuts).
- Grain temperature.
- Grain moisture – the optimum moisture levels for long term storage of cereals are below 14.5% and 7-8% for oilseed rape.
Where infestations of insects or mites are detected early, due to the monitoring put in place, it is sometimes possible to control the problem by using a combination of techniques such as cooling, cleaning or drying.
