Kill grain insects in...

Stored Grain - Canada
Rusty Grain Beetle
The Rusty Grain Beetle is found in more than 90% of infestations in Canadian wheat, barley, oats and all other grains and seeds. Mix Protect-It® with your wheat, barley, oats and other grains listed on the label seeds to prevent infestation before it occurs. Protect-It® can also be used with fumigants such as phosphine and methyl bromide.

Protect your Grain at Harvest
Mix Protect-It® into the
wheat, barley, oats and other listed grains and seeds as it enters the auger or conveyor feed system during transfer of the grain into storage.

How much do I add?
Protect-It works best when it is well mixed with the grain. Mix 100 grams (approx. 2 scoops*) as evenly as possible into 1 tonne of wheat. If Protect-It® is added at a rate of more than 100 grams per tonne, simply dilute with untreated
grain or seed.

*a measuring scoop (approx. 50 grams) is provided with each box of Protect-It.

How it Works
Protect-It
® absorbs the outer waxy layer on the insect's cuticle. As this protective layer is absorbed, the insects dehydrate and die. Protect-It starts working immediately after application and lasts until the grain is processed or unless grain moisture exceeds 14.5%.

Always read the product label before use. Wear a dust mask and suitable eye-protection when using Protect-It®, or whenever airborne dust is present.

Mix Protect-It
with your wheat, barley,
oats and other listed grains
and seeds to prevent
infestation before it occurs.
