In botanical pesticide formulation most of the active ingredients (plants parts) are water soluble. Like so many types of synthetic pesticides formulation (eg. soluble granuls, soluble powder, emulsifiable concentrate, wettable powder, water soluble granuls, microencapsulation etc.) which types of botanical pesticides can be formulated?
It depends on the nature of the extract (product) to be formulated and the target.
See attached pdfs as examples of formulation of an essential oil with kaolin powder. All the best in your research.
Greetings,
Botanical pesticides could bee either essential oils or plant part extract.

This is very useful but very vague question. It largely depends on the resource availability, agro-ecological conditions at local level, and target pests.
All. You can find a botanical pesticide that would be suitable for any of the existing formulations. Issues include which plant does the botanical come from and whether the target pest is bacterial, fungal, insect, weed, or something else (rodent, etc...).
