Wheat Pest & Disease Programs — Biological Inputs That Fit Your Spray Window
Natural program for wheat and small grains — rusts, powdery mildew, Septoria, smuts and blights, the aphid complex and armyworms, plus silica for plant strength.
Growing wheat with Vegalab
Wheat and small grains face bacterial blights, root rot and scab, Septoria blotch, smuts and the rusts (leaf, stem and stripe), plus powdery mildew — alongside an aphid complex (bird cherry-oat, corn leaf, English grain, Russian wheat aphid), mites, armyworms, wheat stem maggot and wireworms.
Vegalab's natural program spans the fungal, mildew, insect and plant-strength needs from planting through heading and flowering. Rates follow the registered label.

Frequently asked questions
What controls rust and Septoria in wheat naturally?
Spore Control (thyme oil) is Vegalab's broad-spectrum natural fungicide for the rusts, Septoria, smuts and blights; apply preventatively from the first sign and through favourable weather.
How does Vegalab handle the wheat aphid complex?
Spider Mite Control manages the aphid complex (bird cherry-oat, corn leaf, English grain, Russian wheat aphids) and mites as a foliar spray with zero PHI/REI.
What is Armour Boost for on wheat?
Armour Boost supplies plant-available silica that strengthens tissue, supports root growth and improves resilience to lodging and stress — a complement to the disease and insect program.
