CheckMate® OFM-F is Suterra’s pioneering sprayable pheromone release formulation for Oriental Fruit Moth (OFM) in stone and pome fruit crops.
This easy-to-deploy, flexible option for OFM control, CheckMate® OFM-F fits into growers’ existing integrated pest management (IPM) programs. It is tank-mixable with common agrochemicals and works well with nearly any water volume. This product releases the OFM sex pheromone throughout the orchard, reducing adult males’ ability to find females. This disrupts the mating cycle and suppresses pest populations.
CheckMate® OFM-F gives growers the flexibility to spray few or many times each season depending on the timing and pressure of OFM in their orchards.
