Ingredients	The plant of negundo chastetree (Vitex negundo), shrubby morningglory (Ipomoea fistulosa), Pongam (Pongamia pinnata), roostertree (Calotropis procera), water and False black pepper (Embelia ribes).
Details Of Innovation	Farmers of Karnataka prepare herbal pesticides by locally available plants to control pests in crops. They grind seven kilogrammes of negundo chastetree (Vitex negundo), shrubby morningglory (Ipomoea fistulosa) and Pongam (Pongamia pinnata) each, with four kilogrammes of roostertree (Calotropis procera) and boil in 20 litres of water for half an hour. Next day, filter the solution. Dilute this solution in 100 litre of water and spray to control pests. Extracts of roostertree were tested against third instar larvae of the teak skeletonizer (Eutectona machaeralis) in laboratory to evaluate their antifeedant and insecticidal effects. It was found to be effective and a potent antifeedant.Leaves and the press cake of Pongam improves soil fertility. Dried leaves have been used for repelling insect in stored grains. The press cake has pesticidal value when added to the soil, specially against nematodes. Alternatively, boil 200 grams of False black pepper (Embelia ribes) in two litre of water and filter it the next day. Dilute this solution in 100 litres of water. The diluted solution acts as effective treatment against insects and viral diseases. False black pepper has been used traditionally to help maintain a healthy skin and to support digestive function. Clinical studies have shown that it also has a mild laxative activity and its extracts are effective against ascarides.

PAS 1	"Daturastramonium seed extract among ethanol, chloroform, and acetone has strong insecticidal efficacy than methanol and n-hexane . The insecticidal repellency properties of Chromolaenaodorata, Senna siamea, Andrographispaniculata, Vernoniaamygdalina, Daturastramonium against Callosobruchus maculates indicated C. maculatus egg laying capacity effectively reduced by Senna siamea as compared to other plants" [ https://www.ijert.org/chemical-constituents-and-pharmacological-properties-of-datura-stramonium-thorn-apple-a-review].
PAS 2	"Daturastramonium plant frequently used as antiparasitics and repellents [9]. Fruit oil is used for body pain" [ Sayyed, Aqib. (2013).
