Which statement about applying a grain protectant is described in the material?

• A. Apply protectants with a solid block applied on the grain.
• B. Apply liquid protectants as spray or drip on the applicator.
• C. Apply protectants only during storage, never before.
• D. Do not apply protectants to any grain.

Answer: (B)

Applying grain protectants efficiently relies on how the product is delivered as the grain moves through the handling system. Liquids are intended to be applied by spraying or dripping onto the applicator, so the grain that passes over it is coated evenly and the dose is controlled as it flows. This method ensures each kernel gets a proper, consistent amount without clumping or uneven coverage, which is essential for effective protection. The other ideas don’t fit typical practice: using a solid block wouldn’t provide uniform coating for all grains, and limiting application to storage or avoiding application altogether would fail to protect the grain during the storage period or violate label directions.
