Abstract

In Germany stored product protection belongs until now to the legislation field of plant protection. All stored product protection products used for controlling insect- and other pests require a legal approval of the plant protection authority. Roughly, the pesticides for stored product protection in grain storage can be divided into three groups:
  • contact insecticides (spraying, fogging, powdering insecticides)
  • fumigants
  • rodenticides
In the last decade, the decrease of available active ingredients and compounds for stored product protection is quite obvious. Especially in grain storage more and more problems arise due to phase out and disappearance of these products. Several issues like ineffective control of pests or insect resistance against few remaining compounds contribute to the pressure in this context especially for the grain storage industry and difficulties in controlling pests. An update of all products and active ingredients that have an approval in 2009 are presented.
