Looking Back, Growing Forward:
Certis in 2025 and Our Vision for 2026
2025 has been an important year for Certis Biologicals, defined by continued
growth, innovation, and stronger partnerships with the growers and advisors who rely on biological solutions every day. Across regions, crops, and our portfolio, we built on the momentum of a standout 2024 and continued to strengthen our position in the market.
To close out the year, we invited leaders from across the company to reflect on the achievements that made 2025 successful — from regional wins in the field to key commercial milestones and the broader vision guiding Certis into 2026.
Eastern U.S.: Cultivating Specialty Crop Success
The Eastern region saw strong adoption of biological solutions across specialty crops and vegetables. Key wins included expanded Sil-Matrix® use in cranberry production and increased adoption of NemaClean® across major food production partners. Additionally, Kocide® and NemaClean became established standards for disease
and nematode management in local specialty crops. These successes strengthened Certis’ presence in the Eastern market and set the stage for continued growth
in 2026.
Western U.S.: Building Momentum from Coast
to Coast
This year in the West, we saw opportunities for momentum in our key products
such as Nemaclean and Homeplate®. Nemaclean shows great efficacy in managing nematodes, and Homeplate is a great herbicide tool. On a management level, the West is tracking strong sales through November, and the restructuring of the region has been a huge success for California and Arizona.
The team effort of David Silva, Tommy Van Groningen, and David Jaime has been exceptional. We're especially encouraged by all the clients we retained and grew
with this year, which reflects strong grower trust. We look forward to partnering with our customers in the coming year to support their growth in 2026!
Midwest & Plains: Tackling Crop Challenges
Head-On
In 2025, our regional efforts focused on targeted outreach with key distributors
and dealers, emphasizing brand training and hands-on product trials to drive
pull-through across channel partners. Convergence® led our portfolio with strong adoption across in-furrow, early foliar, and mid- to late-season applications, while LifeGard® WG gained momentum for its unique mode of action against tar spot, leaf rust, and white mold.
With elevated disease pressure, including one of the most significant corn leaf rust seasons in decades, growers valued having multiple biological modes of action to strengthen their fungicide programs. Engagement at Commodity Classic, Top Producer Summit, dealer field days, and organic conferences helped grow relationships and reinforce confidence in Certis Biologicals’ U.S.-made solutions.
We are most proud of the increased brand awareness and grower dialogue that set the stage for continued momentum in 2026.
Commercial Overview: Driving Growth Across
the Market
Certis Biologicals continues to be a leading supplier in biological crop protection space; none of which is possible without our key relationships throughout the channel, but most importantly the overall value and experience for end-users of our biological products. Certis has celebrated another record year in national sales performance, showcasing our commitment to sustainable agriculture over the last 24 years. Our innovative products have seen significant adoption across multiple crops and regions, empowering farmers to enhance their yields while also prioritizing environmental health.

Certis is committed to leading the way in sustainable agriculture, and together we are shaping a healthier future for farming while ensuring the entire channel can thrive while caring for precious farmland.
CEO Reflection: Leading With Vision and Resilience
This year marked an important moment of transition for our organization, as we continued to strengthen our commitment to science-driven innovation, operational excellence, and global collaboration. By advancing our biological portfolio and securing key regulatory milestones, we reinforced our ability to deliver meaningful, sustainable solutions to our customers, industry partners, and growers worldwide. We focused on aligning R&D, regulatory, manufacturing operations, supply chain operations, and commercial teams to ensure our products not only meet our customers’ needs and expectations, but also position us for long-term impact and resilience in the dynamic market.
Closing the Year: Here’s to 2026
As we wrap up 2025, we are proud of how far Certis has come and even more excited for what lies ahead. To every grower, PCA, partner, and colleague, thank you for being part of this journey.
Here’s to a strong, innovative, and impactful 2026. We’re just getting started.
