REVIEW ON SOME PLANTS AS BIO - PESTICIDES

Abstract

The  study  used Onion (Allium Cepa), Garlic (Allium Sativum L.) and Sour Orange (Citrus Aurantium) to assess  their effectiveness as bio- pesticides. The study also revealed  that  plants   play  vital  roles towards the storage of many food stuffs. The consideration for   the used   extracts of  plants origin is that they were easily biodegradable, effective on some pests and considered  safer  in  pest control operations as they minimized  pesticide residues and also ensured safety of  the consumers of the treated grains and the environment. Which in turn, the production of organic extracts of plant origin for pest control were easier and less expensive than  the  synthesized  some  of  the complex chemical formations.
