For best results, apply CheckMate® SF early in the season, after the first oriental fruit moth of the season is detected and before the first peach twig borer is detected by a BioLure® pheromone traps or by field scouting. Apply at the rate of 150 dispensers per acre. Place dispensers in the upper one-third of the canopy, preferably on the south side of the tree. CheckMate SF dispensers are not affected by irrigation or spray applications. If there are more than 150 trees per acre, evenly distribute the dispensers within the block. If there is a prevailing wind, apply one dispenser to every tree on the upwind side of the orchard and then evenly distribute the remaining dispensers in the block. Place BioLure monitoring traps for both OFM and PTB before placing CheckMate SF dispensers. Wash hands when done placing dispensers, traps or lures. Do not handle other types of pheromone lures or dispensers before or after placement without thoroughly washing hands. This product only affects adult male moths and will have no effect on female moths, eggs or larvae. If application occurs following biofix or during the growing season, the orchard must be treated with insecticide treatments that will effectively control hatching larvae until egg laying by previously mated female moths has ceased to occur. In moderate to high insect pressure situations, supplemental insecticide applications during the season may be necessary to provide adequate protection to developing fruit. These supplemental insecticide applications should be made based on trap monitoring, field scouting, and appropriate degree-day models for the local growing area and must be timed to control emerging larvae. Monitor insect infestation with traps and by visual inspection of shoots and fruit. Early placement of BioLure monitoring traps at a rate of one trap for every ten acres is recommended along with careful field scouting. Monitor treatments carefully for secondary insect pests. CheckMate SF is best used to control low populations of oriental fruit moth and peach twig borer and prevent their increase. High moth population levels or migration from other sites may be managed by monitoring and supplemental insect control measures.
