Dr. Naveen Kumar discusses the benefits of DMX-7, a grain protectant, for preserving corn quality during storage. DMX-7 uses a unique patented technology involving three generations of propionate to inhibit moisture migration and mold growth in corn over 8 months of storage in Thailand. Key benefits shown with real field data include no sweating on silo walls, no spontaneous heating, minimal insect infestation, much less shrinkage, and maintained high quality corn even at the bottom of the silo after 8 months.

21. • No sweating at side wall
• No spontaneous heating with grain at bottom of silo
• Insects minimal and well under control
• Much lesser shrink (generally 70-80% lesser than normal)
• Maintain intake quality right up to the very end at bottom of
silo
• PATENTED
