About

Smartbug NZ provides specialist IPM services and biological products to New Zealand’s horticultural industries. IPM (Integrated pest management) is a strategic approach to pest management that draws on many tools to gain control over pest and disease populations. Our programs have helped growers reduce their reliance on a pure-chemistry approach and add many more tools and tactics to their arsenal.

Many horticultural pests have developed resistance to modern agricultural products, this is why a strategic approach is required to overcome pests. With a wealth of knowledge of both existing and new crop protection techniques, strategies and technologies, Smartbug NZ helps growers secure their crops into the future.
