Chemical pesticides are used in very low dose for controlling diseases on crops. so there may not be huge difference between performance of the herbal extracts use for human medicine (but indiscriminate use is risky) .

@Varun Kumar Singh, okay I got your point. Did you ever prepared any organic products or organic medicines from any herbaceous medicinal weed ?? If yes. Then please share your views on the context of the current discussion.
Pranabesh Ghosh yes, many herbal organic medicine are available in the market. And we are too working on it at our R&D but we can not disclose it as it is confidential to industry.
@Varun Kumar Singh, okay no problem. I can understand and the research ethics also doesn't support it. Okay thank you so much Varun for raising a nice topic.
