A BOTANICAL REPELLENT COMPOSITION BASED ON ALLIUM SATIVUM AND HUMIC ACIDS FOR FIGHTING AGAINST PLAGUE INSECTS AND METHOD FOR THE OBTENTION AND USES THEREOF.

摘要

The present invention refers to a botanical repellent composition for fighting against plague insects, which comprises from about 75% to about 92% of garlic extract (Allium sativum), humic acids and from about 25% to about 8% of diluents. Preferably, the composition comprises 87% of garlic aqueous extract, humic acids and 13% of water. Said percentages guarantee a control higher than 70% against adults, higher than 60% against nymphs and higher than 60% against whitefly eggs (Bemicia tabaci) in squash (Cucúrbita pepo). The garlic extract is obtained by the maceration method so as to have a concentration degree of 87% which allows a suitable percentage to be obtained against plague insects affecting crops.
