Protect your vegetable crops against pests, weeds and diseases this season 2026.
Posted on 10 July 2026
As high-value crops, field vegetables require strong establishment and healthy crop growth to maximise yield, quality and marketable produce. Achieving this relies on good agronomy and the effective management of weeds, pests and diseases throughout the growing season.
With a diverse range of crops grown across the sector, maintaining crop health and marketability for end-use markets (supermarkets, consumers etc.) requires continued focus on weed control, emerging pest and disease pressures, and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programmes that combine good agronomic practice with effective crop protection products and naturally derived solutions.
