    The document discusses the Pemphigus Betae aphid, which feeds on plant roots and causes chlorosis and death. While commercial pesticides can control the aphid, they carry risks of reducing soil and water quality and increasing costs. The document proposes that Urtica dioica, commonly known as stinging nettle, can serve as an alternative pesticide against the Pemphigus betae aphid as it provides multiple advantages over commercial pesticides.

    INTRODUCTION

    Nature and humanity both confront the same problems in today's generation: climate
    change and pollution. Furthermore, the Pemphigus Betae is recognized for causing certain
    unhealthy plant development. With its sharp needle-like mouthparts, the insect feeds by sucking
    sap from plant roots. The aphid infests the plant's root, causing chlorosis (a sickly yellowish color
    caused by a lack of chlorophyll), which eventually leads to the plant's death. (Edde, 2022). The
    commercially available pesticide can risk the decrease of soil quality and water retention.
    Furthermore, it is said that newly developed pesticides cost more than the already available ones.
    In contrast to this, Urtica dioica can be used as an alternative pesticide against aphids like the
    Pemphigus betae as it serves the multiple advantages compared to commercial pesticides.
