Protect Your Orchard with Confidence:
Certis’ Virus-Based Solutions

Managing codling moth (CM) and oriental fruit moth (OFM) remains a challenge for fruit growers, especially as pest pressure and dynamics evolve. At Certis Biologicals, we’ve led the way in virus production since 2002, delivering the most reliable and consistently supported virus portfolio on the market.

The Importance of Virus Rotation

Virus-based products are powerful tools, but preserving their effectiveness requires a rotation strategy. Although resistance to CpGV is rare (only reported in two Washington orchards), rotating between Cyd-X® HP, Madex® HP, and Madex® XLV remains critical.

  • Madex® XLV delivers strong performance in rare resistance cases.

  • Cyd-X® HP and Madex® HP offer reliable control across most orchards.

  • Rotating all three helps maintain efficacy and prevent resistance development.

Using a thoughtful rotation plan protects both your crop and the longevity of these valuable tools.
