Good Quality Corn

Good quality uncontaminated corn

Discolored Germ – a sign of mold growth

Poor quality live mold contaminated corn

Insect Infestation

5 year old silo

PROOF is in SEEING…

DMX-7 treated corn in steel silo after 8 months of storage in Thailand.

Corn degrades in quality 10 times faster in a hot environment

• 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

*** Real time field data and not some simulated laboratory data
