Insecticidal plants and homeopathic preparations, such as those obtained from dried seeds of the plant Delphinium staphisagria L. (Ranunculaceae), which contain toxic alkaloids, have received relevant attention from the scientific community and producers, especially with respect to aphid control. However, it is important to present information that can support the implementation of this molecule within an ecologically based pest management program. In this scenario, the present publication aims to report the potential of insecticidal plants and agro-Homeopathy for the ecological control of pests and their potential effects on beneficial organisms.
