CheckMate® TPW is a patented, pheromone-based product designed to disrupt mating of adult tomato pinworm moths. CheckMate TPW is a membrane-based dispenser system that emits synthetic tomato pinworm sex pheromone. Used as directed, this product saturates the field 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 (70 to 75 days) providing continuous mating disruption and suppression over several generations of tomato pinworm. This product is compatible with both fresh market and processing production systems: poled, staked, trellised or un-staked. The benefits of using CheckMate TPW are:
• Biorational pest control • No re-entry restrictions • No chemical residues • No build up of pesticide resistance • No environmental hazards • No protective clothing
CheckMate TPW is specific for the tomato pinworm, leaving beneficial parasites and predators in the field. These beneficials aid in control of the vegetable leafminer (Liriomyza sativae), and other secondary pests. |
