Product Overview
Diacon®-D IGR is a ready-to-use dry grain protectant and insect growth regulator for stored grain, seed, animal feed, and other labeled stored commodities.
The active ingredient, (S)-methoprene, helps disrupt insect development by preventing immature insects from becoming reproductive adults. This makes Diacon-D IGR a useful preventive tool in stored product pest management programs where long-term protection is needed.

- Useful for stored grain, seed, animal feed, and other labeled commodities
- Can be applied to grain streams, feed, top-dress treatments, or empty premises

More product information
Because Diacon-D IGR is a dry formulation, it can be useful in applications where water is limited or where a dry application is preferred. It can be applied directly to grain streams, used as a top-dress treatment, mixed with feed, or applied as an empty-premise treatment according to the product label.
For farmers, grain elevator managers, flour millers, seed suppliers, and animal feed facilities, Diacon-D IGR can help protect stored commodities as part of a broader IPM program that includes sanitation, monitoring, aeration, grain quality management, and proper application equipment.
Application rates vary by commodity and treatment site. For direct grain treatment, the label lists 8–10 lb per 1,000 bushels. For empty-premise treatment, the label lists 1.5 oz per 1,000 sq ft. Always read and follow the product label before use.
Choosing a formulation: This is a ready-to-use dry IGR-only option. For a dry formulation that also includes an adulticide and synergist, compare Gravista-D. For liquid application, compare Diacon IGR (IGR-only) or Diacon IGR Plus (IGR and adulticide). See application equipment and the grain protectant calculator. Always follow each product label.
Application of Diacon®-D IGR is approved virtually everywhere stored product insects are a problem — farm storage, large silos, peanut bins, seed storage and more. It goes where stored product insects go, interrupting their life cycles, providing long-term control and profit protection.

- 10 lbs per 1,000 bushels of commodity
- 1.5 oz per 1,000 sq ft of surface area as a premise treatment
