Diatomite – a new opportunity in agriculture in conditions of economic instability

To date, environmental issues have come to the fore, especially in agriculture. Safety has become a prevalent aspect in the selection of grain processing facilities and granaries, while efficiency and cost-effectiveness are also important. Science does not stand still and offers a new tool based on diatomite treated in a certain way, which is an excellent insecticide agent used for grain storage and processing of granaries. The resulting product does not contain chemicals and helps in the destruction of: insect pests (beetles Coleoptera sp.), Lepidoptera (Lepidoptera sp.), ticks (Acarina, Tyroglyphoidea, Acaroidea, etc.), all kinds of moths and fireflies, can also serve as a remedy for fungi and mold, and has the effect of anti-tracker.
