    This document discusses how the aphid infests plants' roots causing chlorosis and death, and how commercial pesticides used to control aphids can decrease soil quality and water retention while being more expensive than existing pesticides. As an alternative, Urtica dioica is proposed to control aphids like Pemphigus betae as it provides multiple advantages over commercial pesticides.

    INTRODUCTION

    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.
