Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Applications
- Applicable Crop
- Application Technique
- Insecticide Target Species
- Application
- Use with care on open blooms. Determine sensitivity before spraying.
- Apply before high pest populations occur.
- Pests must be present and in contact with the
- Pycana spray solution.
- Spray with enough volume to penetrate foliage for good coverage.
- Do not use when temperatures are above 90° F.
- Mode Of Action
Pycana combines two modes of action. Pyrethrins are sodium channel modulators and affect the permeability of nerve-cell membranes leading to hyper-excitation, tremors and paralysis. Canola oil kills by suffocation, disrupting respiration and cell membrane function. Oils may also kill pests by disrupting their feeding on oil covered surfaces.
- Use Sites
Pycana may be used in greenhouses, shadehouses, hoop houses, and on container-grown nursery crops.
- Uses On Crops
- Bedding plants, flowering plants and foliage
- Bulb, cole and leafy vegetables
- Citrus, pome and stone fruits

Pycana is effective at controlling spider mites either when a stand alone solution or mixed at 1% to aid other miticides- Tank Mixing
Do not mix with sulfur or apply within 21 days of a sulfur application.
Pycana can be tank mixed with most commonly used insecticides and miticides. Pycana users should adhere to any applicable restrictions on the tank mix product. If the compatibility of tank mix partners is unknown, mixing a small amount of the products in a clear jar is advised prior to mixing a large tank.It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture. PYCANA can be applied up to day of harvest. When tank mixed with products, do not apply that product closer to the harvest than is permitted or stated on the other product’s label. Pour PYCANA into spray tank at least half filled with water using adequate agitation. When mixed with other products proven or known to be compatible, wettable powders should be added first, followed by flowable concentrates, then PYCANA and other emulsifiable concentrates
