Schaumburg, Ill., [February 26, 2025]— Central Life Sciences is proud to announce the availability of Gravista® Insecticide in a convenient quart size, offering enhanced application flexibility and post-harvest insect protection for stored grains. Featuring a powerful 3-in-1 formula that combines an insect growth regulator (IGR), an adulticide, and a synergist, Gravista® Insecticide is designed to combat profit-robbing insects.
The new quart size is particularly suited for pre-bin treatments—a critical step in preventing insect infestations before grain enters storage. Gravista® Insecticide offers farmers a new tool for pre-bin applications which delivers long-lasting residual control and comprehensive protection against stored grain product insects.
“Gravista Insecticide represents the next evolution in stored grain protection,” said John Mays, Sr. Director of Grain/Specialty Ag Products at Central Life Sciences. “Our studies show that Gravista significantly reduces insect damage by controlling their population, providing peace of mind and a clear return on investment for grain producers.”
Gravista® Insecticide is labeled for use on grain sorghum (milo), corn, popcorn, barley, oats, rice, rye, and wheat. The product’s versatility allows it to be applied as a pre-bin treatment or directly on post-harvest grain as it flows into storage, helping to ensure extended residual control.
“Expanding Gravista into a quart size opens up exciting opportunities for farmers to integrate this effective 3-in-1 solution into their pre-bin treatment regimen,” said Nancy Stratinsky, Sr. Business Manager for the Specialty Agriculture division of Central Life Sciences. “This is another critical step in our mission to help producers protect their stored grain investments from costly insect damage.”
Gravista® Insecticide targets a broad spectrum of stored grain insects, including Indian meal moths, sawtoothed grain beetles, red flour beetles, rice weevils, maize weevils, lesser grain borers, and other listed pests. Its advanced formulation combats resistance and helps reduce insect-damaged kernels (IDK) and grain shrink.
