The company’s “Certis for Citrus” program utilizes sales from their top citrus products to annually support CRDF’s mission. The donation came during the organization’s recent board meeting, which was held this year via teleconference due to coronavirus concerns. During the meeting, Certis USA Product Manager Jeremy Adamson expressed gratitude for the Florida citrus community and the work done by the CRDF to solve one of the biggest issues facing it.

“The Florida citrus community trusts our Kocide family of products for the effective control of bacterial and fungal diseases in their groves,” Adamson said. “We are happy to show our gratitude for that support each year through the ‘Certis for Citrus’ donation to fund the amazing work being done by our friends at the CRDF.”

CRDF COO Rick Dantzler showed appreciation for the company’s financial support and demonstrated commitment to the Florida citrus industry overall. “It’s all-hands-on-deck as we work together to provide growers with products that help grow citrus in this HLB environment,” he said.
