Nicotine sulfate is a chemical compound derived from nicotine, the primary psychoactive component of tobacco. It is commonly used as an insecticide in agricultural settings to control pests and insects on crops. Nicotine sulfate works by disrupting the nervous system of insects, leading to paralysis and ultimately death. It has been utilized for many years as an effective method of pest control, particularly for aphids, caterpillars, and other chewing insects. However, due to its toxicity to humans and other non-target organisms, its use has become more restricted in recent years. Proper handling and safety precautions are essential when using nicotine sulfate to minimize risks to human health and the environment.
