Pyrethrins are the activechemicals in pyrethrum, andare 100% natural

Pyrethroids are synthetic, orman-made, versions of Pyrethrins.

Pyrethrum is composed of 6esters (collectively calledthe Pyrethrins), all of whichhave insecticidal properties.This means thatthe pyrethrum is attacking theinsect on 6 different fronts,using 6 different insecticides.

Pyrethroids, which are synthetic,are composed of only one chemicallyactive compound.

PYRETHRINS PYRETHROIDS

Pyrethrins have a uniqueability to induce excitationbehaviour in insects,characterized by erratic andincreased movement by insects.This has the benefit of 'flushing'the insects out of hiding places,resulting in increased exposureto the Pyrethrins

Synthetic Pyrethroids do not have this flushing effect

Pyrethrins are naturallybroken down by UV rays andPH variances and thereforehave shorter environmentalpersistence.

synthetic Pyrethroids aremanufactured to overcome thethat problem.

SOURCES OF PYRETHRINS

Achenes of the chrysanthemum FAMILY : Compositae / Asteraceae

Sources of different species:1. Chrysanthemum cinerariefolium2. C . coccineum3. C.roseum4. C.marshalli5. C.tamrutene

The original home of pyrethrum is said to be East or Middle Eastcountries.In the 19th century it was introduced to U.S.A., Japan, U.K.,Africa and South America. At the beginning of 20th century, Dalmatiaand adjoining countries became leading producers. In 1941, Japanbecame the leading producer. However, at present, the principalproducer of pyrethrum is KENYA. Other countries producingpyrethrum are Congo, Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Equador and Brazil .

In INDIA also pyrethrum is grown to a small extent in the1. Hilly belts of Assam2. Himalyan mountain range of J & K3. Nilgiri areas of Tamil Nadu

EXTRACTION OFPYRETHRUMMETHOD I METHOD II

METHOD I

Pyrethrum is present in the Achenes of flower heads The content is maximum when the flowers are in full bloom stage

flowers are harvested by handpicking

They are then dried at 54.4 0C and compressed. In the industries the dried and compressed flowers are ground to a

fine powder.

The powder / dust can be used as aninsecticide.

METHOD II

The toxicant can be extracted by extracting with an organicsolvent like Isopropanol,acetone or odor less kerosene.

The solvent is repeatedly percolated through the powderand the weak extract is evaporated in a vacuum still to getconcentrated extract

The concentrated extract together with an emulsifieris sold in the market for the use.

Also, the concentrated extract can be mixeduniformly with an inert carrier like benonite clay,charcoal powder, diatomaceous earth

The mixture can be used as a ready to use lowpower dust.

PYRETHRUM

Amber coloured viscous liquid

Insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents

It is nonvolatile, hence non-fumigant action.

I t Is Easily decomposed by acid, alkali or even by moisture on long standing to produce primary constituents

On prolonged storage, pyrethrum looses itsinsecticidal action due to degradation by oxidation.Hence; antioxidants like hydroquinolene are added toincrease the life.

An exposure to sunlight, it is degraded to nontoxic products in no time i.e., highly photodegradable. This is what restricts the use of natural pyrethrum in out dooragriculture.

SYMPTOMS OF POISONING

Symptoms of synthetic pyrethroid poisoning may include oneor many of the following:

stuffy, runny nose - headache, fever wheezing, coughing - sensation of swelling or tightness in

the chest tremors - irregular heartbeat Extreme weakness – nausea

Effects to the eyes may include: Blurred or dark vision Redness caused by stinging Extensive tearing
