For the fourth consecutive year, Certis USA has donated $20,000 to the Citrus Research and Development Foundation, Inc. to help fund the non-profit’s research aimed at finding a cure for Huanglongbing. The company’s successful “Certis for Citrus” program utilizes sales from their top citrus products to annually support CRDF’s mission.
The donation came during the organization’s board meeting, held this year via teleconference on June 23, 2020. 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,” he 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.”
“Once again, Certis USA has demonstrated its commitment to the Florida citrus industry by providing financial support for the Citrus Research and Development Foundation, for which CRDF is grateful," said COO Rick Dantzler. “It's all-hands-on-deck as we work together to provide growers with products that help grow citrus in this HLB environment."
“As provider of biopesticide solutions, we feel that it is imperative that we have the answers that growers need for the pests and diseases that threaten their crops and their operations,” said Mike Allan, Certis USA Vice-President, North America. “When we are unable to provide that solution directly through our broad portfolio of products, we are happy to provide the support needed for organizations like the CRDF to reach that solution and provide peace of mind for the community.”
