ACTIVE INGREDIENT
Cinnamaldehyde… 22.5%
OTHER INGREDIENTS… 77.5%
TOTAL… 100%

Use Information

Begin applications at the appearance of the first signs of pests/mites or diseases. Repeat applications as required to maintain effective control, but no more than every 5 days. Under moderate to severe disease pressure, or when environmental conditions and plant stage are conducive to rapid pest/mite or disease development, use higher label rates, apply more frequently and rotate SEICAN with other
insecticides/miticides or fungicides for improved performance. Refer to the “Crop Uses” section of the product
label for a complete list of crops.

For foliar application, apply SEICAN in a sufficient spray volume and with adequate spray pressure to ensure complete and thorough coverage of all plant surfaces including both the top and bottom of leaves. Do not wet plant to the point of runoff or drip.

pH: It is advisable to use SEICAN in a pH water solution adjusted to neutral or slightly acid (around 6 – 6.5).

SEICAN is designed for application without additional wetting
agents and spreaders. Use adjuvants with SEICAN to improve
control of insect and mite pests in situations where achieving
uniform plant coverage is difficult such as closed crop canopy,
dense foliage and penetration into waxy leaf surfaces or when
rainfall may remove spray deposits.

Please read label application instructions for best results.

Use Rates

Rate per 100 gallons-

First presence-16 fl.oz. per acre   Frequency 5-7 days

Common Rate-32 fl.oz per acre   Frequency 5-10 days

High Pressure-48 fl.oz.per acre to 56 fl.oz. per acre   Frequency 5-7 days

GROUND APPLICATIONS:

SEICAN can be applied in most commonly-used ground application equipment, such as
tractor-mounted boom, airblast high clearance, hose-end, backpack, and other pressurized sprayers; hose-end or handheld sprayers; foggers or mist blowers; water wheel and other drench applicators; and shank or other soil injection methods.
This product must come into contact with the targeted pests to be effective. For best results coverage typically requires a minimum of 30 gallons of total spray volume per acre. Higher volumes will be required for larger perennial crops.
When pest pressure is heavy or plant canopy is dense, use higher rates and increase spray frequency. Repeat application if measurable rain occurs within two to three hours of spraying.

AERIAL APPLICATIONS:

SEICAN can be applied by fixed or rotary winged aircraft in a minimum of 30 gallons of total spray
volume gallons per acre. Standard precautions should be taken to minimize spray drift.

Description

SEICAN is a fast-acting broad-spectrum biopesticide that provides good control of mites, scales and more at
low concentrations—plus it is highly compatible with biological control agents.

Modes of Action
On contact, SEICAN has a broad spectrum of activity, including:
• Altering the nervous system
• Altering the respiratory system, sealing the spiracles
• Causing death by asphyxiation
• Acting as an antifeedant
• Reducing egg viability and production
• Softening the exoskeleton
• Promoting dehydration

SEICAN is among the organic pesticides considered least toxic to bees by the Xerces
Society for Invertebrate Conservation. As a miticide and insecticide, SEICAN acts by contact, penetrating
and destroying the soft susceptible body parts. Mites and insects are exposed to the loss of body fluids causing a dehydration and consequently their death. It is an alternative to mineral oils and chemical acaricides, with a repellent effect that prevents new infestations.

Targeted Pests
Mites
Mealybugs
Scales
Aphids
Thrips
Psyllids
Leafhoppers
Flies
White Flies
Armyworms
Caterpillars
Loopers
Moths
Borers

See label for a complete list of registered crops
and diseases.

  • In the 2026 South Dakota Pest Management Guide, Seican is listed with black cutworm caterpillars among its labeled target insects (alongside other caterpillars like fall armyworm and western bean cutworm).
    • This suggests label approval (at least regionally) to use Seican for control of black cutworm larvae.
    • The guide recommends application every 5–10 days for best results.
