Mating Disruption for Codling Moth

    CheckMate® Puffer® CM-O Pro Extended

    Suterra
    Fast to deploy aerosol pheromone solution for codling moth control

    CheckMate® Puffer® CM-O Pro is Suterra’s optimized aerosol release formulation for codling moth (CM) mating disruption in apples, pears, walnuts and other crops where CM is a pest. The extended size is formulated for climates with longer growing seasons.

    This proprietary formulation results in enhanced aerosolization of the pheromone creating a spray that better penetrates targeted areas of the canopy. The fast-to-deploy product releases a precise, consistent amount of CM sex pheromone throughout the orchard, reducing adult males’ ability to find females. This disrupts the mating cycle and suppresses pest populations.

    CheckMate® Puffer® CM-O Pro is compatible with all integrated pest management (IPM) tools. The product is also suitable for organic production.
