Petroleum or vegetable oils are the active ingredients in pest control solutions known as oil-based insecticides, which employ them to kill insects. The insects are suffocated, denied air, and smothered by them while they go about their business.
On different crops like fruit trees, vegetables, and decorative plants, oil-based insecticides can be used to manage a variety of pests like aphids, spider mites, whiteflies, and scale insects.
The use of oil-based pesticides on food crops is generally regarded as safe, but if improperly applied, they may have adverse effects on the environment. For instance, if they are not biodegradable, they may harm beneficial insects like bees and contribute to air and water pollution.
Global oil based insecticide market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
