Mating Disruption for Oriental Fruit Moth

CheckMate® OFM Dispenser

Suterra
Targeted pheromone solution for Oriental fruit moth control

CheckMate® OFM Dispenser is Suterra’s optimized pheromone solution for control of Oriental fruit moth (OFM) in stone fruit crops.

This easy-to-deploy product releases the sex pheromone of OFM continuously throughout the orchard, reducing adult males’ ability to find females. This disrupts the mating cycle and suppresses pest populations.

CheckMate® OFM Dispenser utilizes Suterra’s proprietary release technology and is compatible with all integrated pest management (IPM) tools. This product is also suitable for organic production.
