    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.”
