Petasitolone is a bioactive compound derived from the plant Petasites hybridus, commonly known as butterbur. It has demonstrated insecticidal properties, acting by disrupting the nervous system of pests, leading to paralysis and death. Petasitolone is used in agricultural pest management to control a range of insect pests, particularly those affecting crops such as vegetables and fruits. Its selective action and natural origin make it an environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic pesticides, offering a safer solution for sustainable farming practices.
