Features & Benefits

Product Features

This easy-to-deploy, flexible option for OFM control, CheckMate® OFM-F easily fits into growers’ existing integrated pest management (IPM) program. It is tank-mixable with common agrochemicals and works well with nearly any water volume. This product releases the OFM sex pheromone in microcapsules throughout the vineyard, reducing adult males’ ability to find females to disrupt the mating cycle and suppress pest populations. CheckMate® OFM-F gives growers the flexibility to spray two, three, four or more times each season depending on the timing and pressure of OFM in their orchards. 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.
