Diacon® D IGR is a ready-to-use formulation that can either be applied to commodities and feed prior to storage, top-dressed to commodities already stored, or used as an empty premise treatment for areas where commodities will be stored. The residual activity of DIACON®-D IGR prevents the emergence of stored product insects during storage of commodities/feed. (S)-Methoprene, the active ingredient in DIACON®-D IGR protects the stored commodity from damaging insects by interfering with the normal process of insect development. Unlike traditional pesticides, DIACON®-D IGR is not an adulticide, but its residual activity prevents the development of larval insects into viable reproducing adults. DIACON®-D IGR, when used according to the label directions, prevents adult emergence and subsequent new generations of insects. DIACON®-D IGR is effective against insect pests, such as: almond moth, Indian meal moth, lesser grain borer, sawtooth grain beetle, merchant grain beetle, red and confused flour beetle, and other insect pests that are affected by Insect Growth Regulators (IGR’s). If the commodity is known to be infested when it is initially being placed into storage, fumigate the commodity to eliminate the existing insect populations following filling of bins or other storage facilities. Then apply DIACON®-D IGR for residual protection.
