LOWER THE COST OF OPERATION. MANAGE INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE.

CheckMateฎ SF is a patented, pheromone-based product that emits synthetic sex pheromone of both oriental fruit moth (Grapholita molesta) and peach twig borer (Anarsia lineatella). Used as directed, this product saturates the orchard environment with the female sex pheromones 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. This system was designed for use in apricots, peaches and nectarines. CheckMate SF's long field life provides the lowest cost of control per acre per day. The benefits of using CheckMate SF 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 SF is specific for the oriental fruit moth and peach twig borer, leaving beneficial parasites and predators in the orchard. These beneficials aid in control of mites, aphids and other secondary pests.
