Exosect Launches Exosex CM In Belgium To Assist Fruit Growers In Lowering Use Of Insecticides

Belgium (PRWEB) January 31, 2008 -- Exosect, a leading provider of Intelligent Pest Management solutions, today announced that its Exosex CM active mating disruption technology has been registered for commercial use in Belgium. Following successful launches in the UK, US and most recently in South Africa and New Zealand, Exosect is expanding across Europe with the launch of Exosex CM now in Belgium where it will be marketed under the trade name Exomone C.

Exosex CM is used to control the population of the Codling Moth, a destructive global pest of apples and pears. It is an innovative active mating disruption solution, engineered to effectively reduce the population of the Codling Moth when used as part of an integrated pest management strategy.

Ton Besseling of Makhteshim explains, "We are delighted to be working with Exosex CM in Belgium. This environmentally conscious system will support Makhteshim's Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programme and importantly provide support to growers for whom pesticide residue levels are a key issue."

Bruno Gobin, entomologist at the pcfruit research station in Gorsem has been working with Exosex CM for the past two years, "The results have been very good and I have been impressed with the success of Exosex CM as part of an integrated pest management solution. It goes a long way to meeting the growing demand for zero pesticide residues."

How Exosex CM works

Exosex CM requires only 25 dispensers per hectare each of which contain a synthetic female Codling moth pheromone, which is formulated with Exosect's unique and natural Entostat powder. The system works by luring males into the dispensers using the female pheromone, once they enter, the Entostat powder adheres strongly to the bodies of the male. The sensors of the coated moths are overwhelmed which means that they are unable to detect females, and therefore do not mate. They also act as a false lure for other moths and the mating cycle is disrupted, resulting in fewer caterpillars emerging to cause apple and pear damage. The technique is simple and helps to reduce the use of chemical spraying.
