  • CIDETRAK® NOW MESO™ – Add this TOOL to your BELT

    – SPONSORED CONTENT –

    “We are on year 2 with having CIDETRAK® NOW MESO™ in our orchard, and we are extremely pleased with the results. We’re treating 500 acres of Almonds and have seen a major reduction in NOW injury of up to 80%.

    What makes CIDETRAK unique for us is the application flexibility. We do not have flat square orchard blocks that other products can be used on. We have staggered rows and imperfect orchard shapes, and this is where we can use multiple MESO source points to cover

    Hanging the MESO’s was easy and even the local Trécé rep was willing to come out and show the team exactly how to apply the product.

    CIDETRAK’s non-mechanical, non-failure simplicity combined with “beyond the harvest, field life” are other important aspects that drive us to continue with MESO.

    CIDETRAK is a key tool in our toolbelt for controlling NOW. I recommend anyone thinking about their options for mating disruption products, to strongly consider CIDETRAK NOW.”
