The wide variety of organic pesticides encompasses biochemical, microbial, botanical or mineral based. Many of these come from plants themselves, insects, or naturally occurring minerals. Biochemical.
– Biochemical pesticides are fascinating in their simplicity and sneakiness. Pheromones are one form which is sometimes naturally sourced or manmade. They can disrupt mating behavior and control insect populations.
-Microbial – Microbial agents stem from bacteria, fungi, algae, naturally occurring viruses or protozoans. These either introduce a disease to a certain insect population, produce a toxin or limit reproduction. Milky spore is an example of this type of natural pesticide. Botanical.
– Botanical pesticides come from plants. Nicotine, Neem, Rotenone, Sabadilla and Pyrethrins are all derived from other plants. Pyrethrins for instance, come from the chrysanthemum plant and are effective on flying insects and to flush out larvae and grubs.
– Mineral based controls include sulfur and lime-sulfur. Both are sprayed as part of the control of common insect pests.
