CIDETRAK CMDA + NOW MESO is a high performance dual mating disruption dispenser for codling moth and navel orangeworm management in walnuts that significantly reduces trap capture, “mating” and damage with a proper management program!

Codling moth, Cydia pomonella, or CM primarily attacks apples, but can also affect pears, walnuts, plums and quince. Codling moth larvae mainly damage fruit with deep entries and stings. Specifically, larvae penetrate the fruit and tunnel to the core. Navel orangeworm, Amyelois transitella, or NOW primarily attacks almonds and pistachios. However, it can also affect walnuts, figs, and pomegranates. Moreover, navel orangeworm larvae bore in and consume most of the nut, leading to significant economic damage due to nut destruction. Finally, often more than one larva feeds within a single nut.

The CIDETRAK CMDA + NOW MESO mating disruption Dispenser A contains a unique combination of codling moth pheromone AND a male AND female behavior modifying kairomone called DA (pear ester). The DA kairomone enhances the effect of the codling moth pheromone on male mating disruption. Additionally, DA initiates female mating disruption through behavior changes in the female resulting in oviposition disruption, less mating, higher virginity, and lower damage. Dispenser B contains a potent navel orangeworm pheromone which is to be added to the same patented rotating-hanging device. With the added navel orangeworm pheromone, you get a “2-for-1” performance you cannot beat for both codling moth and navel orangeworm management. This is the only product in the world that disrupts the mating of male and female codling moth delivering a significant “one-two” punch! 

CIDETRAK CMDA + NOW MESO delivers exceptional full-season codling moth and navel orangeworm management through post-harvest. Moreover, outstanding results are achieved with remarkably low dispenser rates and the widest A.I. rate range for walnuts. Additionally, the dramatic reduction of dispenser rate and increased performance results in less labor, less insecticide and less damage. Furthermore, the ready-to-use carrier package and patented rotating-hanging device make applications easier. Finally, the low dispenser rate (20/AC or 50/HA), makes it a labor and cost-efficient option.

Overall, CIDETRAK CMDA + NOW MESO is a crucial tool in an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy for codling moth and navel orangeworm.
