Our mechanical applications using the are officially underway! 🌱

Using specialised pheromone technology, FCM disrupts the mating behaviour of False Codling Moth (FCM), making it harder for male moths to locate females and helping suppress pest populations over time.

With mechanical application now in full swing, we're helping growers implement mating disruption as part of a proactive, integrated FCM management programme.

Precision application | Smarter pest management | Stronger support for growers

After rain, ants can lose their trails and need to re-establish routes to food and honeydew sources. As temperatures and humidity rise, mealybugs can quickly rebound, strengthening the ant-mealybug partnership.

SAGA targets adult worker ants and developing larvae, helping prevent colonies from growing and merging into super colonies.

🎯 Placement is key. Place SAGA where ants naturally move through the tree and re-establish their trails.

🍎 By the time you see codling moth damage, it can already be too late. Codling moth larvae pe*****te apples and pears, tunnelling into the fruit and compromising quality and marketability. That makes early, well-timed control critical.

🦠The River Bioscience solution:

is a patented novel virus-based biopesticide developed specifically to target codling moth larvae before they pe*****te the fruit.

The larvae ingest the virus while feeding, allowing CodlMax to attack the pest at its most vulnerable stage and interrupt the pest lifecycle before internal fruit damage occurs.

🎯 80%+ control at 100 ml/ha
🦠 Patented novel virus technology
🍎 Targets larvae before fruit pe*******on
🌱 No phytotoxicity
✅ No MRL restrictions up to harvest
♻️ IPM and resistance-management friendly

With CodlMax, growers have a powerful biological tool for protecting pome fruit when timing matters most.

Target the larvae. Protect the fruit. Choose CodlMax.
