LOWER THE COST OF OPERATION. MANAGE INSECTICIDE
RESISTANCE.
CheckMate® OFM is a
patented, pheromone-based product designed to disrupt mating of
adult oriental fruit moths. CheckMate OFM is a membrane
dispenser system that emits synthetic oriental fruit moth sex
pheromone. Used as directed, this product saturates the orchard
environment with the female sex pheromone so that individual
males cannot locate female moths ready to mate. This product
emits pheromone over an extended period of time (up to 90 days)
providing continuous mating disruption and suppression over
several generations of oriental fruit moth. This system was
designed for use in peaches and nectarines. CheckMate OFM's
long field life provides the lowest cost of control per acre
per day. The benefits of using CheckMate OFM are:
• Biorational insect control
• Will not harm beneficial insects
• Long term impact on OFM populations
• No re-entry restrictions
• No permits or NOI required
• No pesticide residues
• Minimal protective clothing
• Helps manage pesticide resistance
• No environmental hazards
• No impact on irrigation schedules/equipment
• No impact on thinning schedules
CheckMate OFM is specific for the oriental fruit moth and its
close relatives, leaving beneficial parasites and predators in
the orchard. These beneficials aid in control of mites, aphids
and other secondary pests.
