OHP Pycana
OHP Pycana is a fast-acting and powerful botanical insecticide and miticide that provides effective contact control of soft-bodied insects and mites on ornamental plants and vegetables in greenhouses, shadehouses, nurseries, and nursery crops.
09/08/25
OHP Pycana, manufactured by OHP, is a reliable OMRI-listed insecticide and miticide that delivers quick knockdown and control of all life stages of insect and mite pests, with zero preharvest interval, no residual impact on beneficials, and a strong fit for IPM programs on ornamentals, herbs, and vegetables.
This dual-action product creates a one-two punch: pyrethrins for fast knockdown and canola oil for smothering and lasting suppression of eggs, larvae, and adults of mites, caterpillars, whiteflies, Japanese beetles, and more. A huge advantage of OHP Pycana is that it can be used up to the day of harvest, which enables growers under increasing demand to implement pest control when needed without halting production.
OHP Pycana is a natural insecticide and miticide that provides flower, shrub, fruit, and vegetable growers a quick pest control in organic sites. For growers facing constant pest pressure in sensitive production systems, this product offers a dependable solution without the baggage of conventional insecticides.
Tools Needed
A boom sprayer, handheld pump sprayer, backpack sprayer, airblast sprayer, or spray rig can be used.
How to Use
- Step 1: Determine how much OHP Pycana to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. Find the square footage by measuring the treatment area's length and width in feet, then multiply them together (length X width = square footage). For acreage, take the square footage and divide it by one acre (square footage / 43,560 sq. ft. = acres). For flowering, foliage, and bedding plants apply 1.5 to 3 gallons per 1,000 sq. ft. For 2% solution, mix 2 parts concentrate with 98 parts water. For 1% solution, mix 1 part concentrate with 99 parts water. Refer to the product label for specific application rates and restrictions.
- Step 2: Fill the sprayer tank with half the amount of water, add the proper amount of product, and pour in the remaining half of the water. Close the tank lid and shake well until mixed.
- Step 3: Spray the top and bottom of the foliage leaves until wet, but not to the point of runoff. Do not apply more than 1 time per day. Do not reapply within 3 days except under extreme pest pressure.
Where to Use
OHP Pycana can be used on flowers, shrubs, fruits, and vegetables.
When to Use
