Are these biocontrol products authorized plant protection products?

They are plant-based products for home vegetable gardens and gardens; it's best to always check the label for exact usage.

Can I use them with fruit already growing on the plant?

Yes, but always respecting the safety period indicated on the label before consuming the harvest.

Which product do I choose if I can't identify the pest?

BIO Triple Protection covers fungi, insects and mites at the same time, useful when it's not clear what's affecting the plant.

Biological Plant Protection: Organic Anti-Fungal and Anti-Insect Treatments

Quick answer: powdery mildew, downy mildew, aphids and spider mites can be controlled without synthetic chemicals, using plant extracts like horsetail and nettle. Fertinagro Vida has a range of organic biocontrol products in liquid and powder form, designed for vegetable gardens and gardens where the goal is to avoid conventional plant protection products.

Against fungi: powdery mildew, downy mildew and leaf spots

Product	Active base	Format
BIO Anti-Fungal	Horsetail extract (Equisetum arvense)	750 ml sprayer, preventive and curative action
BIO Anti-Fungal Powder	Concentrated natural formulation	40 g sachet, shock effect against powdery mildew

Against insects: aphids, beetles and mites

BIO Anti-Insect is based on nettle extract (Urtica spp.) with preventive and curative insecticidal action, effective against aphids, beetles and other common vegetable garden pests.

Triple protection in a single product

BIO Triple Protection combines fungicidal, insecticidal and acaricidal action in a single application, also based on nettle extract. It's the practical option when you're not sure whether the problem is a fungus, an insect or mites like spider mites, or when you want a single preventive maintenance spray.

How to choose

You see white powder on the leaves (powdery mildew): Liquid BIO Anti-Fungal for general treatment, or the powder for a more intense shock effect.
You see aphids or small insects on tender shoots: BIO Anti-Insect.
You're not sure which pest it is, or you want to prevent several problems at once: BIO Triple Protection.

Best practices when applying organic biocontrol

Apply early in the morning or in the evening, never under intense direct sunlight, to avoid leaf burn.
Preventive action is usually more effective than waiting until the problem has advanced: apply regularly during risk periods (humid spring for fungi, budding for aphids).
Repeat the treatment as indicated on the label; plant-based products usually need more frequent applications than a synthetic plant protection product.
