OHP launches new insecticidal soap

United StatesOHP recently introduced a new insecticidal soap to its portfolio of OHP biosolutions.
Kopa insecticidal soap is a potassium salt of fatty acid soap that controls insects, mites, and powdery mildew. The product is the latest of several additions to the OHP biosolutions segment of new tools for the greenhouse and nursery industry, including vegetables and herbs production.
Kopa insecticidal soap is approved for organic production and is listed by the Organic Materials Review Institute.
“Kopa is a great addition to our OHP biosolutions products, aimed at growers who are using not only conventional, but other means of pest control,” says Dan Stahl, OHP Vice President and General Manager. “It is a great rotational tool for an insect and mite control program, whether biological or conventional.”
Kopa provides fast broad-spectrum activity on foliar insects in the greenhouse, nursery, and landscape markets.
“When Kopa is applied, the spray solution coats the insects or mite pest and causes suffocation and or desiccation. This action results in a quick knockdown. Additionally, due to its short residual, it is ideal for programs using beneficial insects or predators. Growers should introduce predators the next day or make sure not to contact them with the spray,” says Dr. Carlos Bográn, Technical Manager for OHP.
Bográn notes Kopa should be used at the first sign of pest infestations for optimal results and in a rotation with products from different classes with different modes of action.
