peared, and the language reads as follows: 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 now can 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, market manager for Bayer Environmental Science. “When Storcide II is unavailable, Suspend SC is a cost effective, shortterm option to protect grain and seed,” he adds. These statements make sense, because the grain protectant Storcide II is a combination product containing 3 ppm Suspend SC may be shipped to international geographic markets. Suspend SC may now be used by professionals to control adult and accessible stages of the following stored grain pests: lesser grain borer, larger grain borer, Angoumois grain moth, Indian meal moth, tobacco moth, dermestids, and bean weevil. Suspend SC also may suppress populations of the granary weevil, rice weevil, maize weevil, sawtoothed grain beetle, red flour beetle and confused flour beetle. The current Suspend SC label how- ever only mentions that it can be used in empty grain bins and warehouses. Keeping Up With Labels is Difficult It is difficult for researchers, extension educators, and pest management professionals to keep up with the latest amendments to pesticide labels and reasons for such amendments. After interaction with the Bayer folks, it became clear that they indeed had amended a label for use of deltamethrin on grain some time between 2005 and 2006 but never actually pursued it and decided against including “Although Suspend now can be utilized as a grain protectant, its main use will be as an empty grain bin, warehouse, and perimeter spray.” Dr. Bhadriraju Subramanyam chlorpyrifos-methyl (Reldan) plus 0.5 ppm deltamethrin. A second article from Need to KnowStraight Talk for Professionals About Pests and Pest Control Products, Volume 3, Issue 3, June 21, 2006, mentioned, “Suspend SC Insecticide Label Amended to Include Stored Grain Insect Control.” In April 2005, the amended Suspend SC Insecticide label was approved by EPA. This amended label has been registered in all states. Among other changes, the uses for Suspend SC have been expanded to include stored grain pest control. Also, the active ingredient deltamethrin has CODEX MRL (maximum residue limits) tolerances, so labeled crops protected with Response No. 291 MILLING JOURNAL Third Quarter 2008 29 http://www.sunfield.com http://www.sunfield.com
