X-mate

X-Mate FCM is an advanced biocontrol solution based on mating disruption technology targeting the false codling moth (Thaumatotibia leucotreta), a major quarantine pest affecting citrus and other high-value crops. The system releases a high and sustained concentration of synthetic sex pheromones, saturating the orchard environment and preventing male moths from locating females, thereby disrupting reproduction cycles.

Designed for efficient area-wide control, X-Mate requires fewer dispensers per hectare compared to standard solutions, optimizing labor and application costs. The technology is residue-free, with no impact on fruit quality, making it fully compliant with stringent export market requirements. It also preserves beneficial fauna, fits perfectly within IPM programs, and helps mitigate resistance issues associated with conventional insecticides.
