AI Overview
Nicotine is a botanical biopesticide derived from tobacco plants (
) used as a contact and stomach poison against insects. Often applied as a nicotine sulfate extract, it acts as a nerve toxin. While considered natural, it is highly toxic to mammals and pests, requiring careful handling to manage residues and safety, with some formulations focusing on lower toxicity.
Key Aspects of Nicotine Bio-Pesticides
- Mode of Action: Nicotine acts as a nerve toxin that targets the central nervous system of insects, causing paralysis and death.
Usage and Safety Warning
Nicotine is highly toxic to pets and humans, acting as a neurostimulant. It should be used with extreme caution, and it is not considered safe for use on food crops in many jurisdictions, even though it is natural.
