A0IN 65/12 (2013.01); A0IN 65/08 ROMERO, Jiutepec, Estado de Mexico (2013.01) (MX); Cristina Margarita (57) ABSTRACT RODRIGUEZ NARVAEZ, Jiutepec, Estado de Mexico (MX); Mario The method for a pesticide having an insecticide, acaricide SAAVEDRA AGUILAR, Jiutepec, and nematicide action is obtained from plant extracts that Estado de Mexico (MX) have important synergic interactions in pesticide activity. The characteristics of the pesticide are efficient control of insects, mites and nematodes, low toxicity for mammals and (21) Appl. No.: 15/014,817 low persistence in the environment. This pesticide is a composition based on plant extracts containing isoquinoline (22) Filed: Feb. 3, 2016 alkaloids and their derivatives (0.1-20%) and flavonoids and their glycosylated derivatives (0.001-10%). Therefore, the field of the invention is generally organic pesticides and in Related U.S. Application Data particular to obtaining an organic pesticide which contains, (63) Continuation of application No. 13/636,330, filed on as an active ingredient, a mixture of isoquinoline alkaloids Sep. 5, 2013, now abandoned. and flavonoids to be used to control agricultural pests.
