Detail:

1 kg of ginger (Zingiber officinalis), 500 g of chilli (Capsicum annuum) and 500 g of garlic (Allium sativum) are pounded well or separately and mixed with water. This formulation is then sprayed on the affected groundnut crop. The effect of this spray is observed on the very next day. As a result of the spray, the small sucking pest falls down.

"Results of current study, as the first study on insecticidal and repellent activity of mentioned essential oils against Culex theileri Theobald, show considerable values of insecticidal and repellent activity against mosquitoes, concentration of one (undiluted extract) had the highest insecticidal and repellent activity against Culex theileri Theobald for both of essential oils and essential oil of Eucalyptus globulus (66% insecticidal and 74% repellent activity) was more potent than Zingiber officinale (45% insecticidal and 61% repellent activity)" [Madreseh-Ghahfarokhi S, Pirali Y, Dehghani-Samani A, Dehghani-Samani A.

"The study of the development duration and the mortality rate of An. gambiae in a medium containing the powder of Capsicum annuum permitted to note that the development duration were longer when higher quantity of C. annuum were added in the breeding medium. The mortality rate was positively correlated to the concentration of C. annuum." [G.A. Foko Dadji, J.L. Tamesse and J. Messi, 2007. Insecticidal Effects of Capsicum annuum on Aquatic Stages of Anopheles gambiae Giles under Laboratory Conditions. Journal of Entomology, 4: 299-307.

"Use of essential oils as an alternative in insect pest management programmes is a sustainable alternative as they can be obtained from nature. Essential oils can be used as contact toxicity, fumigant toxicity, and repellent, oviposition inhibitory and developmental inhibitory agents. These act on various levels in the insects so possibility of generating resistance is low. Thus, A. sativum and A. marmelos essential oils can be used as an alternative of synthetic insecticides in the stored-grain insect pest management." [Mukesh Kumar Chaubey , 2017.
