Atticus partners with Nichino to market Rycar insecticide

Atticus has entered an exclusive marketing agreement with Nichino America to commercialize Rycar insecticide under the Atticus brand. The product will continue to be available for use in indoor greenhouses and ornamental plant production.

Rycar targets whiteflies and other sap-feeding insects, providing growers with a control option where resistance to other chemistries has developed. “Rycar provides reliable control of whiteflies and other sap-feeding insects, especially when growers are facing resistant pest populations where traditional chemistries have failed,” said Jane Stanley, manager of technical services for greenhouse and nursery at Atticus.

Nichino America’s director of business development and strategic planning, Justin Jones, said the partnership represents a positive move for both companies and their customers. “Rycar has been a long-standing solution in the greenhouse and ornamental space. We are confident that Atticus’s commitment to technical excellence will ensure Rycar’s continued legacy of success for the customers who depend on its performance,” he said.

Atticus said the agreement expands its greenhouse product portfolio while reinforcing its investment in agronomic expertise and technical support for growers.
