Columbia Care: uses an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program on a regular and repeated basis. IPM programs are designed to control pests. CCOH’s IPM strategy is multilayered and uses a release of predatory insects to naturally prevent infestation of our crop. If necessary, we utilize more progressive measures to ensure elimination of disease or pests to keep our products safe for consumption. All methods of our IPM program are Ohio MMCP approved for use in medical Cannabis cultivation. CCOH’s IPM program includes cultural approaches as well as Generally Regarded As Safe (GRAS) cleaning agents (non-plant uses). Our IPM program focus is proactive and preventative in nature. CCOH’s IPM program ensures that plants in the facility are protected from seed to sale. CCOH goes through the effort and cost with the purpose of minimizing the risk of pest infiltration, particularly during the bloom stage of the plant cycle when the use of pesticides may pose unnecessary risks to the patient end-user. The list of products that may be used in CCOH’s cultivation process: Predatory Insects (Placed on and around plants), Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. Israelensis (fed through the soil), Bacillus amyloliquifaciens (fed through the soil), Indole butyric acid {IBA} (stem dipped one time), SLS or Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (used to help spread the sulfur to prevent fungus), Isaria fumosorosea (Fed through the roots or sprayed in veg), Peroxyacetic acid {Peroxide} (Fed through roots, sprayed or dipped), Cold pressed neem oil (Spray).
