Phosure Field Day

Protecting our grain from pests is one of the biggest battles facing growers. Success means we keep our clean and green image. Failure means $5 per tonne per fumigation in extra costs for growers, not to mention our reputation here and overseas.

Our key weapon is ensuring pests don't become phosphine resistant by making sure that this important pesticide is used properly.

The CBH Group is working together with industry groups in Western Australia on 'Phosure', a campaign to prolong the life of phosphine in order to save growers and the industry significant costs associated with switching to alternative fumigation methods.

CBH are currently looking for hosts in various areas to hold a workshop on their property. All you need is a sealed silo and an area close by (preferably a workshop or shed) that we can escape from the weather.

By holding or attending this free workshop, you will gain valuable knowledge on how to ensure you can effectively fumigate on-farm and control low level phosphine resistant insects.


As part of the workshop, you will receive . . .

•  A professional trainer on site
•  Free On Farm Grain Storage Management Kit and Phosure Booklet
•  Free sealed silo check and fumigation
•  Demonstration of safer sealing techniques
•  Demonstration of how to gauge if the fumigation has been successful
•  A free resistance test if you bring a grain insect sample on the day
