Some farmers nowadays try to use an organic pesticide instead of a synthetic one. Many 'green groups' are pleased with this trend. It is apparent that people are becoming more conscious of the impact that their actions leave on their environment. This has lead to a situation where many have opted for what they believe to be the more environmentally-friendly choice. Recent research however, has shown that an organic pesticide is not always the more environmentally-friendly choice. The topic is therefore, quite a controversial one.
An organic pesticide could be made with use of things that we use fairly commonly. If you do know something about these pesticides you may have heard of insecticidal soap, horticultural oil, sabadilla and potassium bicarbonate. Some of these chemicals and powders can be used to create an organic pesticide. There are many advantages of using such pesticides. You must however, keep in mind that, there are also certain disadvantages of using such insect repellents. Usually an organic pesticide will not protect plants from insects for a long time and should be applied fairly constantly. Many synthetic pesticides provide protection to plants for a longer duration. The former usually takes a longer period of time to activate.
You can save the money that you spend on synthetic pesticides by making an organic pesticide at home. You don't need anything special to create most such pesticides. Alcohol, soap, garlic, salt and flour could be used in some cases. You might be interested (and a trifle disgusted) to know that you can use dead bugs to create an organic pesticide. You must be careful however, not to use mosquitoes, flies and some other insects. Otherwise you may end up getting sick yourself! Therefore before you try to create your own pesticides at home, make sure that you have a sufficient understanding of them.
Many campaigners are unaware that an organic pesticide could be as harmful as a synthetic one in certain cases. This might be a nasty surprise for some who have promoted these pesticides. This is one other reason that you must get an understanding of these pesticides. Find out the more environmentally-friendly ones and use them. Make sure that you get the quantity right. By spraying an organic pesticide at the correct time you can minimize the damage caused to the environment. For example pesticides like rotenone should be applied during the evening, at the time when bees are not very active, in order to minimize damage caused to them by the pesticide.
Some 'green trends' that were initiated with noble intentions turned out to be more harmful than the 'illness that they were supposed to heal.' Organic pesticides could suffer the same fate. More awareness of proper use of such pesticides could address this problem. In the future the damage caused to the environment by pesticides could be minimized through such prudent action. This requires the participation of everyone….. including you.
