Canola Oil

Type: Insecticide & Miticide

Mode of Action: Suffocating Pest

Common Product Names: Captiva Prime

What is it?

Canola oil is derived from the seeds of the canola plant, a cultivar of rapeseed. Canola oil acts as a contact insecticide and is considered non-selective. It is a highly refined oil that is safe for use in gardens, on ornamental plants, and even on food crops. As a biodegradable and non-toxic substance, canola oil is an excellent choice for organic and environmentally-conscious gardeners.

How does it work?

Canola oil primarily functions by physically smothering insects, mites, and fungal spores. Upon application, it forms a thin film on the surface of plants or pests, obstructing their ability to respire. This mode of action is effective against both the eggs and mature stages of pests.

  • Time Until Results: The effects of canola oil are often seen within a few hours to a day after application.
  • Residual or Short-Term: Canola oil is considered a short-term solution, as it degrades quickly and does not leave long-lasting residues. Reapplication may be necessary to manage persistent infestations.
  • Curative or Preventative: When used as a fungicide, canola oil is generally curative, helping to manage existing fungal infections rather than preventing them.
