Frequently asked questions

Vegalab SA is a Swiss biotech company headquartered in Zug, Switzerland. It develops nature-derived products across four sciences — Crop Science, Beauty Science, Life Sciences and Biosecurity — built on a proprietary nano-encapsulation platform. It is FDA registered, with crop products EPA registered or EPA minimum-risk (25(b)) exempt where applicable, and 100% carbon neutral. Claims and product availability vary by jurisdiction.

A delivery technology using up to 20 programmable biopolymer layers that respond to up to 8 environmental triggers (pH, enzymes, moisture, temperature, oxidative stress, salt, light and time), releasing active ingredients only when target conditions are met — improving efficacy per dose while cutting waste and off-target release.

Vegalab crop inputs are plant-extracted or naturally derived, and several are OMRI-listed for organic production. They are designed for low-residue, IPM-friendly programs.

The 2026 Crop Science catalog has 32 products organized into four lines: Control (plant-extracted pesticides), Bio (inoculants and biological control), Boost (specialty fertilizers and biostimulants) and Pro (complete water-soluble fertilizers).

Crop Science products are available through the Vegalab crop shop and authorized distributors; skincare through the Vegalab skincare shop. See the Distributors page or contact us for regional availability.

Vegalab is FDA registered as a medical device and cosmetic manufacturer.

The crop range spans specialty and row crops — grapes, citrus, berries, tree nuts, vegetables, potatoes, cannabis and hemp, turf and more — against insects, mites, nematodes and fungal and bacterial diseases. Use the Product Finder to match a problem to a product, or the Pest & Disease Library for identification and crop-specific programs.

Because actives are encapsulated and released on defined triggers rather than broadcast continuously, off-target exposure is reduced. Always follow the label for application timing around pollinators and beneficials.

The platform is designed to fit all three, and several crop inputs are OMRI-listed for organic production. Specific registrations and organic certifications vary by market — confirm on the label for your jurisdiction.

Use the Rate Calculator for crop-science products, or follow the label. Rates depend on crop, target, growth stage and pest pressure.

Vegalab operates globally through distributors and partners, with offices in the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, Singapore, South Korea and Hong Kong. Registration and availability differ by country — contact us for your market.

A NanoSerum encapsulates its active so it is delivered gradually and stays stable for longer. In practice that means sustained hydration or activity, and typically less irritation than an equivalent free-active formula.
