Urtica dioica, commonly known as stinging nettle, is a perennial plant that grows up to 2-4 meters tall with pointed leaves and white yellowish flowers. Recent research has shown that administering U. dioica alone or in combination with other herbs to farmed fish can boost their growth and immune system, making the fish more resistant to bacterial illnesses. This trait, along with the plant's low cost, availability, and ease of processing, could make nettle a beneficial and widely used dietary supplement for intensive fish farms.

Urtica dioica (stinging nettle) is a perennial plant in the Urticaceae family that belongs to the genus Urtica. Although nettle's usage in folk veterinary medicine is extensively documented, U.S. Today, dioica is an underappreciated and frequently overlooked plant, regarded by modern agriculture as a weed to be eradicated. This brief overview focuses on recent research on the administration of U. dioica, either alone or in combination with other herbs, has been shown to boost growth and boost immune in farmed fish, making them more resistant to bacterial illnesses. This new trait, together with the herb's cost-effectiveness, ample availability, and ease of processing, could make nettle a great, low-cost, and extensively utilized dietary supplement on intensive fish farms.

This study aims to make Urtica Dioica as an alternative insecticide instead of commercially available ones that are harmful and poisonous compounds that may adversely affect other organisms besides harmful insects
