In developihng countries alone , organo-chlorine, and organo
– phosphate pesticides , account for nearly 3 million cases of
poisoning , about 20000 of which result in death and many
other cases lead to diseases , such as cancer , liver , kidney
and lung damages and nervous disorders ( WHO ,1992 ) .
High levels of toxic residues from synthetic pesticides , on
agricultural crops , has become a global concern and is
threatening the health of consumers , all over the world .
Application of long-lasting and broad-spectrum synthetic
pesticides over the years , has led to considerable
environmental damages , soil and water pollution , poisoning
food resources , eradication of beneficial organisms and
growing resistance of target pests .
Pesticides derived from nature are the best alternatives to
synthetic chemicals , since they are considered practically
harmless to people and the environment .
Kimia Sabzavar Co.
has developed a number of “Environmentally Friendly
Pesticides “ which contain natural ingredients such as
plant extracts (garlic , pepper , cinnamon ) , minerals (
inorganic salts of potassium , calcium, iron ,…) , edible oils
and soaps of vegetable oils .
This group of pesticides , in experiments performed by
Iranian Research Institute of Plant Protection (IRIPP),
over the past few years , have proved their efficacy in
controlling a wide range of agricultural pests ( aphids ,
mites, whiteflies, snails ,slugs ,rats ) and some common plant
diseases ( powdery mildew , Botrytis , Damping-off , ….) ,
without any toxic residue .
The plant for mass production of these products is located
in Firouz Kooh industrial estate , located 120 km north-east
of Tehran .
Kimia Sabzavar Co. is presently providing
farmers , interested in growing pesticide-free and organic
crops across the country , with a wide range of
“Environmentally Friendly Pesticides “.
