LOWER THE COST OF OPERATION. MANAGE INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE.

CheckMate® OFM is a patented, pheromone-based product designed to disrupt mating of adult oriental fruit moths. CheckMate OFM is a membrane dispenser system that emits synthetic oriental fruit moth sex pheromone. Used as directed, this product saturates the orchard environment with the female sex pheromone so that individual males cannot locate female moths ready to mate. This product emits pheromone over an extended period of time (up to 90 days) providing continuous mating disruption and suppression over several generations of oriental fruit moth. This system was designed for use in peaches and nectarines. CheckMate OFM's long field life provides the lowest cost of control per acre per day. The benefits of using CheckMate OFM are:

• Biorational insect control
• Will not harm beneficial insects
• Long term impact on OFM populations
• No re-entry restrictions
• No permits or NOI required
• No pesticide residues
• Minimal protective clothing
• Helps manage pesticide resistance
• No environmental hazards
• No impact on irrigation schedules/equipment
• No impact on thinning schedules

CheckMate OFM is specific for the oriental fruit moth and its close relatives, leaving beneficial parasites and predators in the orchard. These beneficials aid in control of mites, aphids and other secondary pests.
