Hello,

I am wondering if someone has information on this natural product : plant of
origine, composition, producers, applications, prices...

If yes, please send to me, it will be very nice from you.


If seems that some of the origine plants are Chrysantemum cinerariaefolium
(Phyretrum cinerariaefolium) and Chrysantemum coccineum.

It is use as "green insecticide power"

Augusto - 
  Pyrethrum is NOT the same as Feverfew.

One is mostly used as an insecticide, the other is useless as an
insecticide, but used for migraine headaches.

Pyrethrum = Chrysanthemum coccinium

Feverfew = Chrysanthemum parthenium

It's a little-known fact that the Y1K problem caused the Dark Ages.

Pyrethrums are available from Kenya. Suggest you contact their trade
embassy. It's big business for them. They're produced from Chrysanthemums as
stated. In actual fact there are six active "Pyrethroids" occurring in two
groupings. They can be easily separated and identified by Gas Chromatograph.
They're generally used in "non-toxic" contact and surface insecticides.
However a synergist is sometimes also used in combination with pyrethrin
which is not so environmentally friendly!

Also tanzania.  When I was working there in the 70's a rhino wandered into a
field of pyrethrum, grazed contentedly, assumed the horizontal position and
dozed off for the rest of the day, keeping everybody out of the area.  It may
just have been a really slow hot day ...
