    Confidence in Product Performance in Where the Value Lies

    “We tried CIDETRAK® NOW MESO™ in 2019 to see how well it would perform, and it did well. This season, we expanded with new acreage, and were pleased with the results. Along with orchard sanitation and well timed insecticide applications, mating disruption is a valuable tool in managing NOW. I like the simplicity of the MESO dispenser system, with no batteries or other hardware that needs to be serviced. The dispensers are easy to hang, and work through the season and into the fall on all flights.”

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

    “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.”

At the annual Tree & Vine Expo, UC Farm Advisor Emily Symmes reviewed the cause of greater infestation in the 2017 season and what growers can do better moving into 2018. Watch this brief interview with Emily and read more on IPM in Emily’s upcoming Orchard Task list in the March issue of Pacific Nut Producer Magazine.
