🟩 PRODUCT NAME: Herbal Insecticide Based on Plant Alkaloids & Mustard Oil

🔬 FORMULATION OVERVIEW:

This herbal insecticide is a bio-based pest control formulation derived from a synergistic blend of natural plant alkaloids and cold-pressed mustard oil. It is designed as a contact and systemic agent, targeting the physiological and neurological functions of common sucking pests while being safe for beneficial insects, pollinators, and the environment.

✅ ACTIVE INGREDIENTS:

1. 🌿 Plant Alkaloids (10-15%):

• Extracted from plants such as Neem (Azadirachta indica), Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), and Calotropis species.
• Function: Disrupt insect neurotransmission, feeding, and reproduction cycles.

1. 🌰 Mustard Oil (15-20%):

• Acts as a carrier, synergist, and repellent.
• Contains Mustard oil, which exhibits strong insecticidal and ovicidal activity.
• Enhances cuticular penetration of alkaloids into pest bodies.

1. 🌾 Botanical Extracts and Stabilizers (up to 100%):

• Additives like emulsifiers, surfactants (natural saponins), and water-based carriers for stable foliar application.

🧪 MODE OF ACTION:

• Contact Toxicity: Kills pests upon direct contact by disrupting cellular respiration and enzyme systems.
• Antifeedant Action: Inhibits feeding behavior by targeting gustatory receptors.
• Oviposition Deterrent: Prevents female pests from laying eggs on treated surfaces.
• Systemic Uptake: Some alkaloids enter plant tissues, providing residual protection.
