Swiss company Andermatt Biocontrol received approval in South Africa for its bioinsecticide Madex Twin, based on a Cydia pomonella granulovirus.
The use of Madex Twin provides excellent control of two significant key pests (Cydia pomonella and Grapholita molesta), leaving zero residues and being absolutely harmless to non-target organisms. Thus, Madex Twin offers new and meaningful options for biological control and IPM strategies.
In South Africa, Madex Twin is now registered for use on apple, pears and stonefruits. Madex Twin is already registered in Switzerland, Ukraine, Russia, Lebanon, USA, Uruguay and France. Further registrations of Madex Twin are in process.
