Biopesticides harness the power of nature to effectively protect plants from pests, diseases, and control weeds. Derived from other plants, bacteria, and key minerals, biopesticides can be used to attract and kill pests that threaten crops, bacteria and fungi that can destroy yields and weeds that can weaken the growing power in fields and orchards. Certis Biologicals' portfolio of biopesticide products leads the way in using this unique technology to provide solutions for the problems that affect commercial agriculture.

Biopesticides: Ready for use on every acre
More biopesticides are applied to conventionally grown acres than are applied to organic acres. But, the use of biopesticides has allowed growers of certified organically grown crops to increase acreage and crop offerings to meet the increasingly high demand for organic food.
Biopesticides have found success and broad acceptance in the specialty agriculture, high-value crops of vegetables, fruits, nuts, and vines. The broad portfolio offered by Certis Biologicals has a product that meets nearly every need for both conventional and organic agriculture.
