Exosect Adds To Exosex CM Distribution
29 April 2008 Exosect announced that UAP has joined Hutchinsons as UK distributors of the Exosex CM active mating pest control solution, according to a company release.
Exosex CM is used to control the population of the codling moth, particularly in apples and pears. The Exosex CM system works by luring males into the dispensers using female pheromones, and once they enter, a powder adheres to the bodies of the males, overwhelming their sensors and rendering them unable to detect females. 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.
Exosex CM is registered for commercial use in the UK, the US, New Zealand, and South Africa. It has been granted organic status with IFOAM affiliated organic certification bodies, The Soil Association, Organic Farmers & Growers Ltd., OMRI (Organic Materials Review Institute), and BioGro New Zealand Ltd.
UAP is a leading UK distributor of crop production products and a provider of agronomy support services to arable, fruit, and vegetable growers under both conventional and organic growing systems.
“The product proved to be an extremely valuable addition to the growers arsenal last year during what was a difficult year for spray timings, therefore this year, we are delighted to be working with both UAP and Hutchinson to meet the increasing demands from UK growers,” explains Richard Dyason, Sales and Marketing Manager for Exosect.
