Pimentol is a natural insecticidal compound derived from the seeds of the pimento plant (Pimenta dioica), also known as allspice. It works by interfering with the nervous system of insects, disrupting their nerve signal transmission, which leads to paralysis and ultimately death of the pest. Pimentol is applied in agriculture to control a wide range of insect pests, including aphids, mites, and beetles. Its natural origin and selective action make it an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic chemical insecticides, providing effective pest management in crops like fruits, vegetables, and grains.
