Rice Pest & Disease Programs — Biological Inputs That Fit Your Spray Window
Natural disease, insect and nematode program for rice — Spore Control for rice blast and blights, Larva Control for stem borers and leaffolders, and Nematode Control for root-knot nematodes, at zero PHI/REI.
Growing rice with Vegalab
Rice faces heavy disease and pest pressure — rice blast (Magnaporthe oryzae), sheath blight (Rhizoctonia solani) and bacterial blight among the diseases; stem borers, leaffolders, armyworms and planthoppers among the insects; and root-knot and other nematodes in the paddy.
Vegalab's natural program targets each group with zero pre-harvest interval and re-entry, fitting the tight cycles and food-safety demands of rice production. Programme targets are use-guidance; confirm rates against the current registered label for your market.
