Rusty Grain Beetle Threatens Farm Stored Grain in Manitoba
Manitoba entomologist D R Robertson warns that the inch long rusty grain beetle damages farm stored grain in several regions. To counter, remove crust and lumps, move grain to a clean granary or cone shaped snow fenced pile, and fumigate if grain is not yet out of condition and the granary is sound. Use proper masks and equipment, and adjust fumigation when grain is cool to ensure effectiveness.
