Pesticide Making 

Today we learnt how to make different types of organic pesticides for the leaves. We also discussed a few garden hacks and others showed their previous work.

1. Organic Pesticides:

First, let us know what pesticides mean. Pesticides can be defined as chemical substances used on plants to ward off different kinds of plant infestations that can be also called pests.

So, instead of buying chemical pesticides, we are going to make natural pesticides in our homes. Hope you like it.

    This activity was very useful because natural pesticides help to reduce pests without damaging the plant. I tried it in a few plants and it works really well.

    Mahathmika - I have also tried this natural pesticide on my flowering plants in my garden. I noticed that there were not much insect bites on the leaves and there were not any negative side effects on the plants.
