Agrigem supports forestry professionals with targeted and effective plant protection products as part of strategic forest management.

Headed up by Rebecca Gorton, our forestry division supplies into the commercial timber, forest nursery, contractor, landscaper, agroforestry, forest management, and woodland stewardship sectors.

We work in partnership with our customers - including Forestry England and Forestry and Land Scotland for whom we hold the supply contracts - to support the health of our forests. We help customers prevent the spread of tree disease and pest damage and support the control of invasive species and weeds.

These critical processes underpin everything we do and shape our product offering – something we continually review to ensure we remain relevant and useful in our sector.

** 2026 LANZARTA Receives Full Approval 18th May 26

ANNOUNCEMENT: Lanzarta Receives Approval for Dual Nursery and Forest Application
Lanzarta insecticide has secured full UK registration for a dual-application strategy, covering both nursery pre-treatment and in-forest application. Specifically engineered to combat large pine weevil (Hylobius abietis), Lanzarta, from Syngenta, offers a robust defence for Sitka spruce and other pine species - vital assets in a UK forestry industry valued at £2bn.

Key Advantages:

Dual-Stage Strategy: Combines precision nursery treatment for early-stage vulnerability, with targeted in-forest knapsack application for later-season protection.
Weather-Resistant Formulation: The quick-drying SC liquid binds to bark, ensuring long-lasting efficacy even in high-rainfall conditions.
Eco-Aware Protection: The formula targets only feeding pests, maintaining a positive profile for broader woodland biodiversity.
Economic Impact: By protecting the 35 million Sitka trees planted annually, Lanzarta reduces restocking costs and ensures more consistent woodland establishment.

Inspired by natural diamide insecticides, the active ingredient quickly halts feeding damage upon ingestion. Advisors suggest pairing Lanzarta with cultural controls, such as ground cover manipulation and fallow periods, for maximum resilience.

Data from ongoing trials together with detailed usage guides will be released in the coming weeks.

Please contact Rebecca Gorton with any questions: rebecca.gorton@agrigem.co.uk 07932 055620

Oak Processionary Moth Warning 17th May 26

June marks the start of a high-risk period for oaks, with the arrival of non-native oak processionary moths.

The caterpillars hatch in spring and go through several instars, moving down the tree as they grow - feeding on the leaves, weakening and harming tree growth and leaving oaks exposed to stress and disease. The Forestry Commission has issued a public warning to avoid contact and report sightings.

Get in touch to discuss caterpillar control, damage mitigation and prevention strategies.
