Brambles Pest & Disease Programs — Biological Inputs That Fit Your Spray Window
Natural crop protection for blackberries, raspberries and cane fruit — powdery mildew, Botrytis, anthracnose, aphids and spider mites, all at zero pre-harvest interval and re-entry.
Growing brambles with Vegalab
Brambles — blackberries, raspberries and other cane fruit — are challenged by powdery mildew (Podosphaera aphanis), Botrytis (gray mold) at bloom and harvest, and by aphids and spider mites in the canopy. As soft, perishable fruit destined for fresh market, they demand clean, residue-free control.
Vegalab's natural program covers the disease and pest pressures with zero pre-harvest interval and re-entry. Programme targets are use-guidance; confirm rates against the current registered label for your market.

Frequently asked questions
What controls powdery mildew on blackberries and raspberries?
Mildew Control (geraniol) is Vegalab's natural fungicide for powdery mildew on cane fruit — preventative and curative, applied foliar with zero PHI/REI.
How do I protect bramble fruit from gray mold?
Spore Control (thyme oil), applied from early bloom through fruiting, reduces the latent Botrytis infection that causes post-harvest breakdown in raspberries and blackberries.
Is the program residue-friendly for fresh-market cane fruit?
Yes — the products are natural, plant-derived and designed for zero pre-harvest interval and re-entry where registered; confirm organic/OMRI status on the label for your market.
