Pyrethrum Extract Powder

Pyrethrum is the crude extract obtained from the dried flower heads of Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium (Dalmatian pyrethrum), containing six naturally occurring insecticidal esters collectively known as pyrethrins. These compounds act on the insect nervous system, causing rapid knockdown and paralysis, and have been used as a botanical insecticide for centuries due to their fast action and rapid environmental breakdown compared to synthetic alternatives. Kenya is the world's leading producer of commercial pyrethrum, with the flower cultivated specifically for pyrethrin extraction rather than ornamental use.

Sheerherb's Pyrethrum Extract Powder is extracted from Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium flowers and standardized to pyrethrin content, with HPLC verification confirmed on every batch. We supply pesticide formulators, agrochemical manufacturers, and industrial buyers with appropriate regulatory registration sourcing technical-grade pyrethrum raw material for insecticide product manufacturing.

As a preferred solution, the pesticide composition containing chrysanthemum and pyrethrum extracts is diluted with water to a concentration of 10-100 ppm of active ingredients based on the weight of the raw medicinal materials, that is, the pesticide composition obtained after 1 g of the raw medicinal materials is extracted. When diluted to 10kg with water, its active ingredient concentration is equal to 100ppm; it is further preferably diluted to an active ingredient concentration of 20-50ppm and sprayed on the leaf surface of the plant, so that a layer of water film appears on the leaf surface, and the liquid medicine does not drop. The second application is preferably carried out after 3 to 5 days, and the crop is preferably applied 2 to 3 times in a row. The pesticide composition containing chrysanthemum wormwood and pyrethrum extract is composed of a mixture of chrysanthemum wormwood extract and pyrethrum extract, or a combination of chrysanthemum wormwood and pyrethrum extract, and its control effect is much higher than that of single-component extracts, especially After co-extracting chrysanthemum wormwood and pyrethrum, since chrysanthemum and pyrethrum have solubilizing and solubilizing effects, the pesticide composition prepared after co-extraction has more significant insecticidal effect. Compared with the prior art, the pesticide composition containing chrysanthemum.

Pyrethrum Extract Powder is valued mainly for its fast-acting, naturally derived insecticidal activity, which underpins most of its functional positioning:

1. Rapid Knockdown Insecticide Activity

Its action on the insect nervous system produces fast paralysis and knockdown, making it a preferred active ingredient for aerosol and space-spray formulations.

2. Botanical/Organic-Compatible Positioning

As a plant-derived active ingredient, it supports formulation of products marketed for organic farming and lower-residue pest control applications.

3. Rapid Environmental Breakdown

Its tendency to degrade quickly under UV light and heat is often positioned as an environmental advantage compared to more persistent synthetic insecticides.

4. Broad Pest Spectrum

Effective against a wide range of insects including aphids, whiteflies, thrips, spider mites, and stored-product pests.

 

Agricultural Insecticide Formulations
Technical-grade extract serves as the active ingredient input for registered agricultural insecticide products targeting crop pests.

Household & Structural Pest Control
Widely formulated into aerosols, sprays, and structural pest-control products for indoor and outdoor residential use.

Stored Product Protection
Used in formulations protecting stored grain and food products from insect infestation.

Animal & Pet Health Products
Used in registered formulations for livestock and companion animal pest control (fleas, ticks, lice).

Sheerherb supplies technical-grade Pyrethrum Extract for pesticide formulation manufacturing, with full batch documentation including pyrethrin content, ratio analysis, and SDS provided per order. As a supplier serving registered agrochemical formulators, we keep pricing competitive without compromising on documentation - no shortcuts on testing.

We operate our own extraction facility and quality control laboratory, which means custom standardization, documentation requests, and sample requests are handled in-house rather than passed through a third party.
