Combination treatments of diatomaceous earth (DE) (Protect-It®) and the insect growth regulator (IGR) methoprene (Diacon®II) were evaluated against Rhyzopertha dominica (F.), the lesser grain borer, on stored rough rice. Application rates of DE and methoprene ranged from 0 to 500 ppm and 0 to 1 ppm,...
