There's a solution to every problem.
Identify the pest or disease affecting your crop and match it to the right Vegalab nano-encapsulated solution — natural, effective, with OMRI-listed options where applicable.
Easy solutions for complex problems.
The right solution depends on identifying soil deficiencies and pest populations accurately. Complexity increases when different crops, climates and application methods are in play — but the principle is the same: find the root cause, then apply the precise intervention.
Vegalab's nano-encapsulation platform ensures that natural active ingredients reach their target at the right time and in the right concentration, maximising efficacy with minimum off-target impact.
Vegalab leverages hands-on experience gathered with distributors and customers across six continents to maintain a comprehensive, constantly updated database of agricultural solutions. Talk to us about your specific situation.
Most common problems and Vegalab solutions
Select a pest or disease to go directly to the recommended product.
Nematodes
Root-knot, burrowing, lesion, pin and spiral nematodes disrupt root development and reduce crop yield. Vegalab's geraniol-based solution delivers over 80% efficacy in tested crops.
Spider mites & mite spectrum
Spider mites, broad mites, thrips, aphids and whiteflies colonise leaves and sap plant energy. Our contact and systemic solutions address the full mite spectrum.
Powdery & downy mildew
Two of the most widespread fungal diseases in viticulture, ornamentals and vegetables. Mildew Control prevents colonisation of leaf surfaces and inhibits sporulation.
Caterpillars & larvae
Larval feeders including codling moth, Carposina sasakii, leaf rollers and crop-damaging caterpillars. Biological and chemical modes of action available.
Slugs & snails
Slug damage is most severe in moist conditions and young transplant beds. Our contact formulation provides rapid knockdown without persistence in the soil environment.
Fungal spores & gray mold
Airborne spore pressure leads to botrytis (gray mold), barn rot, fire blight and a range of post-harvest losses. Spore Control reduces inoculum load before infection establishes.
Mosquitoes
Standing water in irrigated fields and orchards creates mosquito breeding sites. Mosquito BioControl uses a biological active to interrupt the larval life cycle without chemical residues.
Jumping worms
Invasive Amynthas jumping worms degrade soil structure and crowd out native earthworms. Jumping Worm Control delivers 100% efficacy in 24 hours in laboratory testing.
Foliar fungal disease
Anthracnose, leaf blister, Gymnosporangium, bacterial blight, brown spot and take-all are all tackled by our foliar fungicide range with multi-site modes of action.
Apple mite & Phytophthora
Apple mite pressure in pome fruit orchards combined with Phytophthora root and collar rot can devastate yields. MultiMite and our blight biocontrol offer a paired solution.
Verticillium & take-all
Soil-borne diseases including Verticillium wilt and take-all patch reduce root function across cereals, berries, vegetables and turf. Our soil fungicide protects the root zone.
