Development pipeline

One lead program advancing toward field validation, alongside two early-stage programs exploring other applications of Phytoguard’s controlled-release technology.

Lead program

NemaGuard Duo™

A controlled-release formulation combining essential-oil-based bioactive ingredients that have demonstrated synergistic activity. It is being developed to manage plant-parasitic nematodes.

Laboratory soil assays and pot trials supported the selection of the lead formulation for field validation.

Target: Plant-parasitic nematodes
Actives: A synergistic combination of essential oils
Delivery: Controlled release in the root zone
Status: Lead formulation selected; scale-up for field trials
Next step: Field trials planned from January 2027

Additional pipeline programs

Phytoguard is exploring further applications of its controlled-release technology in crop protection and plant nutrition.

Early stage

Controlled-release micronutrient delivery

An early-stage program exploring controlled-release formulations for delivering essential micronutrients, including boron, zinc, and iron.

Early stage

Natural insecticides

An early-stage program evaluating natural active ingredients for potential development as controlled-release insecticides.

All programs described on this page are in research and development. Phytoguard does not currently offer any product for sale, and no product has been registered or approved by any regulatory authority. Statements about timelines and applications are forward-looking.
