This handbook serves as a guide on utilizing native pesticidal plants in Cambodia as eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic chemical inputs. It outlines the severe health, economic, and environmental consequences of chemical dependency while highlighting the global momentum toward organic agriculture. The document inventories various local plant types—such as chili, garlic, neem, tobacco, and turmeric—detailing their preparation into natural extracts using water, alcohol, or fermentation. By documenting localized smallholder experiences across provinces like Prey Veng, Takeo, and Kampong Thom, the text bridges traditional field knowledge with modern botanical practices to enhance bio-pesticide efficiency and community health.
