Soybeans Pest & Disease Programs — Biological Inputs That Fit Your Spray Window
Natural program for soybeans — nematodes below ground, rust and white mold above it, and the defoliating caterpillar complex through pod fill.
Growing soybeans with Vegalab
Soybean yield is lost in two places at once. Below ground, root-knot and other soil nematodes restrict the root system before the crop shows any symptom worth scouting. Above ground, rust, sclerotinia white mold and septoria leaf spot take canopy through the reproductive stages, while armyworm, loopers and cutworm defoliate and lygus and plant bugs feed directly on developing pods.
Vegalab's Nematode Control is applied to the root zone against root-knot and other parasitic nematodes, Spore Control covers rust, white mold and septoria, and Larva Control handles the defoliating caterpillar complex. Charge BioBoost supports root-zone nutrition through the nodulating phase, when a soybean root system is doing more work than at any other point in the season. All carry zero pre-harvest interval and zero re-entry. Rates follow the registered label.

Frequently asked questions
Does Vegalab work on soybean nematodes?
Nematode Control is a natural, micronized nematicide applied to the root zone to reduce parasitic nematode populations, including root-knot. It is OMRI-listed and carries 0 PHI / 0 REI.
What controls soybean rust and white mold naturally?
Spore Control is a thyme-oil fungicide applied preventatively ahead of favourable weather for rust, sclerotinia white mold and septoria leaf spot.
Is Charge BioBoost useful on a legume that already fixes nitrogen?
Charge BioBoost is a soil inoculant that supports root-zone nutrition and phosphorus availability. It is applied for root-zone support and nutrient cycling, not as a disease or nematode treatment.
