✅ Uninterrupted performance throughout the entire season
✅ High release doesn't diminish over time - consistent daily release from day one to harvest

40 years of continuous use in U.S. apple orchards. Zero resistance developed. 🙌

That's not luck — that's what happens when you disrupt behavior instead of only spraying. Pheromones don't just protect your crop this season, they help keep your conventional tools effective for the long haul, too.

Today is National Ag Day! We're taking a moment to celebrate every single person in the supply chain who makes it possible to feed the world. From the field to the lab to the boardroom, it takes an entire team. We're proud to be part of it. Stick around for the outtake at the end — you'll want to see it! 😄

Traditional insecticides put you in a constant race against timing. Spray too early, and you lose efficacy; too late, and the damage is already underway.

Pheromone mating disruption keeps populations below damaging levels as a preventative tactic. By year three of use, you'll see that pests rarely return to threatening levels.

We dug into the full picture on the blog. Link in comments.

Washington growers: OFM's first flight starts roughly a month before CM flight. Check with your PCA to learn the exact timing for your area.

Now's the time to prepare your orchards:
✔️ Hang your Isomate OFM products if you haven't already

How are your orchards looking this season?

Here's a number worth sitting with: 200 Isomate® VMB dispensers hold just 2 tablespoons of active ingredient total — enough to protect an entire acre from vine mealybug for up to 210 days. 🍇

Each dispenser quietly does its job all season long — no repeat trips, no spray drift, no harm to your beneficial insects.

We broke down exactly how it works on the blog. Link in comments.

California growers, don't let Oriental Fruit Moth catch you off guard this season! 🐛🚫

✅ Exporting stone fruit? Hang Isomate® dispensers by March 1st
✅ Not exporting? Hang by April 1st
✅ Best practice? Deploy before OFM’s first flight. Track your degree days and get ahead of the first flight for peak mating disruption. Your future harvest will benefit greatly!

Just wrapped up two fantastic days at the AAIE Annual Conference in Modesto!

Our California tech sales team, Jeanine & Joseph had the opportunity to connect with PCAs, CCAs, and agricultural professionals who are on the front lines of sustainable pest management every single day.

What made this year's conference so valuable? The real, honest conversations. Crop-specific roundtables where growers' actual challenges were discussed. The latest research on biorational solutions. Regulatory updates that affect how we all do business. And most importantly—connecting face-to-face with the advisors who understand that effective pest management and sustainability go hand in hand.

As a biocontrol company, we're energized by spending time with people who share our commitment to solutions that work WITH nature. AAIE delivered, as always. 💚

Thanks to everyone who stopped by to chat—we'll see you in the field!
