Zerofly...Insecticide Incorporated Polypropylene Storage Bag

ZeroFly Hermetic Storage Bag is the first insecticide-incorporated storage bag to prevent damaging pest infestations. It reduces the loss of seed or grains that can be consumed, stored, or sold for optimized prices. The storage bag works by establishing a long lasting insecticidal around the bagged commodities. When pest come in contact with the bag in an attempt to reach the stored commodities, they get a lethal dose of the insecticide and are killed.

 The ground-breaking innovation offers small and medium size farmers and traders trouble-free storage for up to two years by integrating two technologies:

(1) Highest quality hermetic inner-liner ensures full protection for grain already infested by insects pre-harvest, and

(2)  Slow release insecticide-incorporated outer bag ensures that no insects can attack the stored grain or seed for up to 24 months. The active ingredient included in the bag, deltamethrin, is a Food and Agriculture (FAO) and World Health Organization (WHO) approved pesticide for controlling insect pests and is safe for farmers and consumers. The active ingredient is incorporated into the individual yarns and slowly released onto the surface of the material in a controlled and sustained manner.

How it works

Protects against all major pests

Storage is the most critical post-harvest operation.

1. Deterioration of the grain quality during storage can be due to improper storing conditions, which leads to contamination with fungi or insect infestation.

2. Using the same bins or bags year after year without proper hygiene, provides a continuous chain of infestation. Insects can hibernate or even continue to feed on wooden structures of the store or hide between holes and cracks in the walls.

They can then re-infest the new crop in the same store and resume feeding.

3. Storage of uncovered, previously harvested crops next to those newly harvested, can also result in insects spoiling the newly-harvested crops. A primary source of infestation of the stored crop is the field where the crop has grown.
