Soil-based control of potted insect pests

1. Leek: Take 500 grams of leek, mash it, and mix with 3 kilograms of water. Stir well, then strain the mixture to extract the juice. This natural solution can be used to kill potted flowers' pests like aphids and locusts, while also helping prevent and treat rust diseases on plants. 2. Ginger: Crush fresh ginger and mix its juice with about 20 times the volume of water. This mixture is effective in inhibiting the germination of spores that cause flower rot and sooty mold, making it a great organic remedy for plant health. 3. Onion: Use 500 grams of chopped onions, mix with approximately 4 kilograms of water, filter the liquid, and spray it on potted plants. It helps eliminate aphids and prevents the spread of powdery mildew, offering both immediate and preventive benefits. 4. Sichuan Pepper (Zanthoxylum bungeanum): Take 50-200 grams of Sichuan pepper, mix it with water to make a concentrated solution, and dilute it 10 times before spraying. This natural insecticide works well against aphids, whiteflies, and scale insects on indoor plants, providing an eco-friendly alternative to chemical pesticides. 5. Chili Peppers: Crush green or red chili peppers and mix them with 10 times their volume in water. Spray this solution on potted plants affected by aphids or cockroaches for effective pest control. Additionally, mixing chili seeds with lime and applying it as a fine spray can also help eliminate aphids and other soft-bodied insects. 6. Onion (Repeat for Red Spider Control): Chop onion bulbs and leaves into small pieces, extract the juice, and dilute it with an equal amount of water. Spray the mixture every 3–5 days for three consecutive times to effectively control red spider mites on indoor plants. 7. Garlic: Use 500 grams of crushed garlic and mix it with 7.5 kilograms of water. This solution is highly effective in killing soft-bodied pests like aphids and their eggs, and it also helps control powdery mildew on roses and other flowering plants. These homemade remedies are not only cost-effective but also safe for both plants and the environment, making them ideal for gardeners who prefer natural pest control methods.

Anthocyanin

Anthocyanins widely exist in flowering plants (angiosperms), and their content in plants varies greatly with varieties, seasons, climate and maturity[ 5] According to preliminary statistics, anthocyanins are contained in 27 families and 73 genera, such as purple sweet potato, grape, blood orange, red ball cabbage, blueberry, eggplant, cherry, red berry, strawberry, mulberry, hawthorn, morning glory and other plant tissues. Anthocyanins are mainly used in food coloring, dyes, medicine, cosmetics and so on.


Application


Antioxidant and free radical scavenging function

Anthocyanins belong to bioflavonoids, and the main physiological functions of flavonoids are free radical scavenging ability and antioxidant ability. Studies have proved that anthocyanins are the most effective antioxidants and the most powerful free radical scavengers found by human beings. The antioxidant performance of anthocyanins is 50 times higher than that of VE and 20 times higher than that of VC. Purple Sweet Potato Anthocyanin products can scavenge and inhibit - Oh, H2O2 and other reactive oxygen species, especially - Oh is stronger than ascorbic acid, and the scavenging effect is dose-dependent with concentration.

Anti mutation function

The function of anthocyanins not only makes plants present colorful colors, but also active molecules with health functions such as reducing enzyme activity and anti mutation. Studies have shown that the extract with a certain concentration of anthocyanin can effectively prevent carcinogenesis at different stages, but the individual role of anthocyanin is uncertain, partly because anthocyanin is easy to degrade after bioassay after separation from other stable components such as phenols.

Application in food

With the development of science and technology, people pay more and more attention to the safety of Food Additives. The development and utilization of natural additives has become the general trend of the development and use of additives. Anthocyanins can not only be used as nutritional enhancers in food, but also as food preservatives instead of synthetic preservatives such as benzoic acid, and can be used as food colorants in ordinary drinks and food, which meets people's general requirements for natural, safe and healthy food additives.
