I will present the results of an innovative mating disruption products designed by M2i. We developed a unique pheromonal product to fight against this quarantine pest. It has been tested in Africa and China in 2019. This pest recently invaded Africa (47 countries impacted within 2 years) and attacked a wide range of crops including maize, sorgho and vegetables.
Pheromone is the segment of biocontrol that increases the fastest. No residues, no inputs, no resistance and no toxicity: it appears to be a perfect solution both for specialty crops and row crops as soon as the pheromone release can be controlled and the delivery process is cheap and easy for the growers.
With its proprietary patented formulation technology of 100% green microencapsulation, M2i is now able to provide to the market flowable pheromones, easy to apply, with long efficacy and shelves life.
