Mating Disruption for Codling Moth

CheckMate® CM-XL 2.0 Dispenser

Suterra
Reliable and organic authorized pheromone solution for codling moth control

CheckMate® CM-XL 2.0 Dispenser is Suterra’s improved season-long mating disruption dispenser for control of codling moth (CM) in apple, pear and walnut crops.
