In eradicating pests in plants, farmers spray in the morning or evening. Because at that time pests such as fleas, mites and so on came out looking for food. So, morning or evening is the right time to spray.

However, so far farmers in the world generally use chemical insecticides to eradicate or control pests in their plants.

Indeed, using chemical insecticides has proven to be very effective in combating pests. But it still has a bad effect, both for plants and farmers themselves.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with trying to use insecticides made from natural ingredients. Will it be effective, just like using chemical insecticides?
