Crop IQ is advancing its innovation by entering the storage pest market

Crop IQ is advancing its innovation by entering the storage pest market with the introduction of a biodegradable mating disruption solution that lasts for 360 days. This duration surpasses the longest existing mating disruption product available globally, which lasts only 180 days. Currently, we are in the process of preparing for registration in several markets, and this groundbreaking product aims to eliminate pests such as the Indian meal moth, Warehouse Moth (Ephestia elutella), Mill Moth (Ephestia kuehniella), Tropical Warehouse Moth (Ephestia cautella), and Raisin Moth (Cadra figulilella). 

Our exclusive mating disruption product, IQ MM MD, is specifically designed for the Indian meal moth. We have conducted over 180 different tests across various locations, and we are confident that this sustainable technology will serve as an effective alternative to conventional chemicals and other mating disruption products with a shorter lifespan than 360 days. 

According to our Executive Director, the development of storage pest products represents a new segment for Crop IQ, and we have significant plans for this area starting in 2026.
