Best Answer

An active contact ingredient is the chemical that is put on plants to kill bugs. It may be applied as an aerosol or as a spray on plants and as granules or sprays at the vegetation's base. The particular name will depend upon the bug that is to be killed even though pyrethroid is a popular choice as the synthetic equivalent of the chrysanthemum-derived, eco-friendly, Mother Nature-made, plant-based pyrethrin.

What dish washing liquid soap safe for plant?

I think it is, I have heard to put dish washing liquid on plants to keep some of the bugs away. However the grease and things from the dishes might not be good on the plants, and the grease may attract bugs. it depends on what soap you use. look for eco soaps which are biodegradble, they may not be the best cleaning soaps but they wont harm your garden. beware from laundry soap water for it contains boron which is harmful for plants. one can use soapy water to kill bugs 'cos if coated by it it chokes them, it does not repel bugs in any way nor is the grease likely to attract any. zaf. I did my own little study and I can say so far it does an exelent job all though the roots worry me they are blackish-green. I hope it's ok!
