A range of insecticides with low environmental impact Pyrethrins are a type of natural plant insecticide. They are extracted by grinding the flower heads of Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium and of C. Coccineum which are grown in various parts of the world, in particular Kenya, Japan, Croatia, Tanzania, Ecuador and Tasmania. The ground powder has a high insecticidal activity. The term ‘pyrethrum extract’ consists of a blend of six components (esters) resulting from the grinding process, namely: Pyrethrin I, Pyrethrin II, Cinerin I, Cinerin II, Jasmolin I and Jasmolin II. Each of these has different chemical and physical characteristics, although they are all similar. From a chemical point of view, all pyrethrins are derived from the reaction of an acid part with an alcohol one. The contact insecticidal action is exerted by means of a neurotoxic mechanism, with fast killing action yet with limited persistence. Pyrethrins are quickly degraded by light and high temperatures. Pyrethrins are also repellent to insects and have a flushing mode of action. They are usually of low toxicity to mammals. |
