Nicotine sulfate is a chemical compound derived from nicotine, a natural alkaloid found in tobacco plants. It is primarily used as an insecticide to control pests in agriculture. Nicotine sulfate works by disrupting the nervous system of insects, leading to paralysis and ultimately causing their death. While it has been effective in pest management, its use has declined due to safety concerns for humans, animals, and the environment. Prolonged exposure to nicotine sulfate can be harmful to non-target organisms and may pose risks to human health. As a result, many countries have imposed regulations on its use, and alternative pest control methods are often preferred.
