Preparation of Organic Repellent for Pest Control in Solanaceae Crops
Keywords:
Organic substances, Repellent, Pesticides, Eco friendlyAbstract
An organic pest repellant is a natural solution for safeguarding plants from destructive pests. It employs substances derived from plants or essential oils to create a protective barrier that either repels or controls pests without causing harm to the environment or human health. This eco-friendly approach encourages a balanced eco system, promotes sustainable agriculture, and reduces the dependency on chemical pesticides. By adopting this method, we can preserve the health of our ecosystems and ensure a stable food supply.
