"Oils of plant origin are readily available and can be used in small amounts as adjuvants in tank-mix pesticide formulations. However, edible oils and petrochemical oils may be too expensive to consider for large-scale agricultural use. Castor oil, which is non-edible and abundant in several countries including Brazil, may be very useful in agricultural programs.Our experimental results indicate that the castor oil-based detergent applied on strawberry crops, in conjunction with well-known and established pesticides, can be a useful alternative due to its properties of low phytotoxicity to many plant species and to the fact that its residues break down rapidly through microbial action in the environment, translating into safety for humans and the environment."

"Plants can defend themselves against the attack of aphids by producing secondary metabolites that can be used to control these insects. Ricinuscommunis is an interesting plant species with documented insecticidal activity (Rana et al. 2012)." https://www.researchgate.net/publication/288446898_Ricinus_communis_L_-_A_review

"Identified so far for their insecticidal property and can be used as an alternative pest management for synthetic pesticides. The present investigation was conducted to evaluate the insecticidal activity of prosopisjuliflora against termite (Odontotermesobesus) and cockroach (Blattellagermanica). The n-hexane extract of the proposed plant showed higher percentage mortality at 10 % concentration in 30 and 42 hours against termite and cockroach, respectively. The LD 50 was determined to be 0.472% and 1.07% for termite and cockroach, respectively after 23 hours. The proposed plant showed significant insecticidal activity at 0.005% level of confidence. From the present investigation, it can be suggested that prosopisjuliflora can be used as potential insecticide" [Tura, Alemu&Tafese, Terefe. (2015).
