Introduction

Stinging nettle, often known as common nettle, is a weedy perennial plant in the Urticaceae
family with stinging leaves. Stinging nettle can be found almost anywhere, but it is most
prevalent in Europe, North America, North Africa, and portions of Asia. Young leaves can be
cooked and eaten as a healthy potherb, and the plant is commonly used in herbal therapy.
Stinging nettle has also been used to make bast fibers for textiles and is occasionally used in
cosmetics. Nettle has many medicinal benefits and we use all parts of the planting including
leaf, seed, and root for making herbal remedies. In the garden nettle is indispensable as a
fertilizer, insecticide and compost activator.

For Pemphigus Betae it is also called plant louse, greenfly, or ant cow, any of a group of

sap-sucking, soft-bodied insects (order Homoptera) that are about the size of a pinhead, most
species of which have a pair of tubelike projections (cornicles) on the abdomen. Root aphids
are harmful pests to indoor crops, causing lower plant vigor, increased disease incidence, and
significant crop losses in both indoor and outdoor production. Root aphids are most common
in container plantings, and early detection and treatment are strongly advised. Root aphid
infestations limit plant growth, preventing them from reaching their full potential. If left
untreated, the harm they produce shows up as yellowing withering leaves and diminished
plant vigor, and they have a severe influence on plant fruiting ability.
