CheckMate® OFM Dispenser

Oriental Fruit Moth Identification -Grapholita molesta

NET WEIGHT: 250 mg active ingredients per dispenser.

This easy-to-deploy product releases the sex pheromone of the OFM pest continuously throughout the orchard, reducing adult males’ ability to find females to disrupt the mating cycle and suppress pest populations. CheckMate® OFM utilizes Suterra’s proprietary release technology and is compatible with all integrated pest management (IPM) tools. This product is also suitable for organic production. Suterra formulates and synthesizes pheromone ourselves in our state-of-the-art facility in Bend, Oregon. All of Suterra’s mating disruption products are harmless to all other living organisms and beneficial insects.

CheckMate® OFM Dispenser is a behavior modifying biochemical product (pheromone) which functions by mating disruption. It is to be used in pest management programs for control of oriental fruit moth (Grapholita molesta), macadamia nut borer (Cryptophlebia ombrodelta), and koa seedworm (Cryptophlebia illepida).

Trap Inhibition

CheckMate® OFM dispensers hindered the ability of males to find pheromone traps as compared to areas treated with grower standard practices.
