The solution
This isn't a product. It's a protocol.
Like everything else in a well-run operation, grain storage works best with a system — not a reaction. The Grain Protection Protocol from Central Life Sciences gives growers and commercial operators a repeatable, proven framework to help protect grain quality from bin to sale.
Reduce Risk + Start Clean
Reduce risk early by cleaning out bins, floors, augers and all contact surfaces.
Protect at Load-in + Lock in Value
Apply on-grain protection during load-in to lock in value and ensure full coverage across all grain entering storage.
Store With Confidence + Preserve Quality
Monitor grain condition over time to preserve grain quality, consistency and volume.
Maximize Return + Cash In
Grain arrives clean and market-ready, helping you reduce discounts, damage and rejected loads.
No matter how you store grain, protection pays off.
The numbers speak for themselves. A strong, proactive Grain Protection Protocol is an investment that yields — especially when built on trusted solutions like Gravista® Insecticide. Whether it's wheat, corn, rice or feed, Stored Grain Solutions from Central Life Sciences give you proven ways to help protect grain and maximize profitability.

Insect identification and management
The pests that prevent your profit.
Stored-grain insects work silently — damaging test weight, generating heat and reducing grain quality before you know they're there.
Weevils
Rice and granary weevils bore into kernels, reducing test weight and creating entry points for moisture and mold.
Lesser Grain Borer
A primary driver of malathion resistance. Fast-moving and highly destructive in warm storage conditions.
Indian Meal Moth
Larvae web through grain surfaces, creating hot spots and quality degradation visible at the elevator.
Flour Beetle
Common in older grain and bin debris. Difficult to control without thorough bin prep and residual treatment.
