摘要

The present invention relates to a botanical repellent composition intended for pest insect control, containing 75 to 92% garlic extract (Allium sativum) and 8 to 25% humic acids and diluents. Preferably, the composition contains 87% aqueous garlic extract and 13% humic acids and water. These percentages provide control effectiveness of more than 70% for the adults, more than 60% for the pupae and more than 60% for the eggs of whiteflies (Bemicia tabaci) in pumpkins (Cucurbita pepo).
