DIATOMACEOUS EARTH (DE) Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is a form of silica that can kill insects by desiccation, by absorbing their waxy, oily, outer layer. When this thin, waterproof layer is damaged, the insect or insect egg loses water and dies. DE also has microscopically razor sharp edges, which works as an abrasive sandpaper to kill the insects. This killing action is a mechanical not pesticidal one. If kept dry, DE has an indefinite shelf life and remains effective for as long as it is present. DE, also called ‘sharp sand’, is sourced from the fossilised remains of freshwater single-celled plants. Worldwide DE has a wide range of uses in organic agriculture but in Australia its range of registered uses is limited to those listed below. Green Harvest uses it to protect stored vegetable seed organically.
