Swiss company Andermatt Biocontrol has recently received approval for its bioinsecticide Madex Twin,based on a Cydia pomonella granulovirus.
The use of Madex Twin provides 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 Italy, Madex Twin obtained approval for use on pome fruit, stone fruit and walnut. It will be distributed by Biogard, a merging company of CBC (Europe) and Intrachem Bio Italy.
Madex Twin is already registered in Switzerland, Bulgaria, France, Lebanon, Russia, South Africa,Ukraine, Uruguay and USA. Further registrations of Madex Twin are in process.
