Yes, rotenone tends to be available as a dust.
Specifically, rotenone is a botanical insecticide, which means that it is made from plant parts and used as an organic control. But safety never can be disregarded regardless of whether the control method is organic or non-organic. Reading and following the instructions on the label and wearing protective clothing always are priorities in dealing with any pesticide.
In fact, and somewhat ironically, some organic pesticides are controversial. Rotenone is one such example. It actually is competitive with some of the non-organic pesticides in terms of environmental impact.
Yes, some formulations of the pesticide rotenone can be mixed with water.Usually, however, rotenone is available as a dust. It is considered a botanical insecticide. Specifically, it is made from plant body parts. It therefore may be used as an organic control of insects such as aphids, Colorado potato beetles, flea beetles, Mexican bean beetles, and weevils.But rotenone is a controversial choice as an organic insecticide. It may be used with only slight possible consequences to bee populations. But it also is considered quite potent and in fact competitive with non-organic controls in terms of negative environmental impact.
No, Derris Dust is rotenone. Rotenone is derived from the roots of plants in the genus Lonchocarpus or Derris

That means that it is made from plant body parts. It therefore may be used as an organic control of insect pests.Nevertheless, some organic controls are somewhat controversial. Such is the case with rotenone. Rotenone is effective in controlling pesty populations of aphids, Colorado potato beetles, flea beetles, Mexican bean beetles, and weevils. But its efficacy comes at a cost. It actually is considered competitive with some non-organic pesticides in terms of environmental impact.
Derris Dust is actually rotenone, which is derived from the roots of plants in the genera Lonchocarpus and Derris, so in that sense it is natural; however, the rotenone is extracted from the stems and roots of plants and in manufacturing, it is concentrated. It is definitely a toxic poison.
Derris dust is a poisinous preparation of crushed roots from the Derris plant. Other plants also contain the active ingredient ,called Rotenone, and are sometimes used. Rotenone is a naturally occurring substance in many plants. In the past it was considered to be relatively safe however new research suggests that this may not be the case. Rotenone is extremely toxic to fish so Derris dust should never be used near waterways,etc.
It occurs naturally in some plants. the bugs discovered this pesticide for us. Some leaf eaters feeding on a rotenone containing plant were observed dyingAnswer:Ingeneral insecticides are all poisonous, they are designed to kill insects.
