Abstract
The invention provides a novel pesticide comprised of the seed and/or seed oils of the genus Perilla frutescens, commonly known as Perilla or Wild sesame, and methods for controlling plant parasitic nematodes and deterring or repelling plant damaging insects. The present invention may replace synthetically produced pesticides, such as organophosphates, which are harmful to humans and the environment, with a natural organic alternative.
