- How It Works
CYD-X® HP contains Cydia pomonella granulovirus, or CpGV, naturally microencapsulated within protein occlusion bodies (OB). OBs must be ingested by a codling moth larva to be effective. The highly alkaline environment of the larval digestive tract dissolves the OB, releasing the virus to infect the cells lining the larval gut.
- Once inside the host cell, the viral DNA “hijacks” the replication mechanisms within the nucleus causing it to replicate more virus. Within a few days the infected larva stops feeding, becoming sluggish and discolored.
- Upon death the larva “melts”, disintegrating to release the liquefied remains of its internal organs, containing billions of new virus OBs.
- The OBs released from virus-killed larvae are capable of initiating new infections if ingested by other codling moth larva feeding at that site or wherever the OBs have been deposited by raindrops, gravity, or spraying CYD-X HP.
- How To Apply
CYD-X HP should be applied in sufficient volume of water to obtain thorough coverage of the orchard canopy without excessive runoff, which could carry the virus off the tree. Actual application volume will depend on the type of spray equipment used, but concentrated sprays are usually more effective for applying CYD-X HP than diluted sprays.
- Used In
CYD-X HP can be used in combination with codling moth mating disruption as a means of overall population management

It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the State or Tribal agency responsible for pesticide regulation. Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation.
- Agricultural Use Requirement
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR part 170. This Standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries and greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE) and restricted entry interval (REI). The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard. Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval (REI) of 4 hours. PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water is:
- Coveralls
- Waterproof gloves
- Shoes plus socks

Safety & Health
- Precautionary Statements
Hazards To Humans (And Domestic Animals):
Harmful if inhaled. Avoid breathing spray mist. Harmful if absorbed through skin. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Causes moderate eye irritation. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, or using tobacco or using the toilet. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Personal Protective Equipment: Applicators and other handlers must wear:
- Long sleeved shirt and long pants
- Shoes plus socks
- Protective eyewear such as goggles, face shield, or shielded safety glasses Mixers/loaders and applicators must wear a dust/mist filtering respirator meeting NIOSH standards of at least N-95, R-95, or P-95. Repeated exposure to high concentrations of microbial proteins can cause allergic sensitization. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning and maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.
Engineering Control Statements:
When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or aircraft in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)], the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS. IMPORTANT: When reduced PPE is worn because a closed system is being used, handlers must be provided all PPE specified above for “applicators and other handlers” and have such PPE immediately available for use in an emergency, such as a spill or equipment break-down
User Safety Recommendation:
Users Should: Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.
Environmental Hazards
Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate.
Storage & Handling
- Storage And Disposal
Pesticide Storage:
Store this product in original sealed container in a cool, dry place inaccessible to children and pets. Store at temperatures below 86°F. Bioactivity may be impaired by storage above 86°F. Storing the product in a freezer or refrigerator will extend its shelf life.
Pesticide Disposal:
To avoid wastes, use all material in this container by application according to label directions. If wastes cannot be avoided, offer remaining product to a waste disposal facility or pesticide disposal program (often such programs are run by state or local governments or by industry).
Container Handling
Nonrefillable container. Do not reuse or refill this container. Offer for recycling, if appropriate. Triple rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank and drain 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Fill the container 1/4 full with water and recap. Shake for 10 seconds. Pour rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat this procedure two more times. Then offer for recycling if available or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or by incineration. Do not burn, unless allowed by State and local ordinances.
