X-Mate FCM is a ready-to-use, pheromone-based, mating disruption product, which disorientates male false codling moth (Thaumatotibia leucotreta), resulting in the failure of the male moths to locate female moths, reducing mating.
Its used in citrus, tree nuts, stone fruit, avocado, litchi, pomegranates, vineyards, ornamentals, any other susceptible crop and noncrop situations and is ideal where integrated pest management programmes are followed.
