"Nicotine sulfate" refers to a chemical compound derived from nicotine, a natural alkaloid found in tobacco plants. It is commonly used as an insecticide to control pests in agriculture and horticulture. Nicotine sulfate works by disrupting the nervous systems of insects, leading to paralysis and ultimately their death. It is effective against a wide range of pests, including aphids, caterpillars, and beetles. Nicotine sulfate formulations may vary in concentration and application method, such as sprays or drenches. While nicotine sulfate can be an effective insecticide, it is important to handle it with caution due to its toxicity to humans and other mammals. Proper safety precautions should be followed when using nicotine sulfate products.
