Tobacco (Nicotiana tobaccum L.) is a very potent ingredient vegetable pesticide. A wide variety of pests and insects controlled with tobacco extracts. Almost all parts of the tobacco plant can be used for natural pesticides (plant-based). Leaf tobacco, especially tobacco extract which is a source of highly effective natural pesticide. If the leaf tobacco is not available, or expensive, can take advantage of the remains of the trunk after the land. Natural pesticide ingredients (vegetable) can also take advantage of the low quality of the tobacco and the price is cheap.
Natural pesticides (Vegetable) is an herb medicines to control pests and plant diseases are made from natural ingredients. Materials for making organic pesticides are taken from plants, animals and microorganisms. Because it is made from materials found in nature, pesticides are more environmentally friendly and safer for human health.
When compared with chemical pesticides, natural pesticides (Bio) has several advantages. First, more friendly to nature, because the nature of the organic material easily breaks down into other forms. So the effect of the poison did not settle for a long time in the wild. Secondly, organic pesticide residues do not last long on the plants, so the plants are sprayed safer for consumption. Third, in terms of the economic use of natural pesticides (Vegetable) add value to the product. Non-food products pesticide better price than conventional products. In addition, the manufacture of natural pesticides (Bio) can be done by the farmers themselves thereby saving production expenses. Fourth, the use of natural pesticides (Vegetable) integrated with the concept of integrated pest management will not cause resistance in pests.
However there are some disadvantages of natural pesticides (Vegetable), among other less practical. Natural pesticides (Bio) can not be saved in the long term. Having made must be applied so we have to make every time you do the spraying. In terms of effectiveness, the results of natural pesticide spraying (Vegetable) is not as fast as synthetic chemical pesticides. It takes time and frequency of spraying more frequently to make it effective. In addition, natural pesticides (Vegetable) relatively resistant to sunlight and rain. But with the development of organic farming technology will be many innovations found in overcoming the obstacles.
