"Gardeners in the 18th century used kerosene to treat insect infestation in crops. Although the kerosene application was quite effective, it was also very damaging or had high phytotoxicity for the plants that it was supposed to protect. In the mid-1900s, with improvements in refining technology, a new generation of petroleum-based oils or mineral oils was produced as pesticides. These petroleum oils were lightweight, had few impurities, and were lower in phytotoxicity when used as directed. Today, there are many commercially available petroleum- or plant-based horticultural oils." https://extension.tennessee.edu/publications/Documents/W415.pdf |
