Pesticides are any substance or mixture of substances, intended for preventing, destroying, or mitigating any pest, or intended for use as a plant growth regulator.
Pesticides destroy, prevent, or repel pests, such as insects, weeds, and rodents, but may cause a range of harmful health effects in humans, including cancer, short- and long-term injury to the nervous system, lung damage, reproductive dysfunction, and possible dysfunction of the endocrine (hormone) and immune systems. Thus only the safe and best alternative is to use natural pesticides. There are various sources to manufacture of pesticides, which may be natural or synthetic in nature.
Custard apple (Annona Squamosa) seeds acts one of the natural source of pesticide.
The oil is extracted from these seeds by using solvents like hexane or methanol and is analyzed for contain of pesticide ingredient The oil of seed extracts of Custard apple Annoa squamosa has Anti-feedant and growth inhibitory effects against some insect pests
Seed extract of Annona squamosa can be used instead of pesticides against many insects like silverleaf whitefly, Bemisia argentifolii Bellows & Perring ,cotton aphids, infesting leaves of tomato plants in greenhouse conditions as the recommended insecticide, with the advantage of not being phytotoxic
We can conclude that, the natural pesticide produced from custard apple seed oil proves itself efficient, advantageous, cheap and safety to handle.
