Avicenna ’s views on pest control and medicinal plants he prescribed as natural pesticides

This study revealed that Avicenna introduced the pest control approach with natural plants in his bookAl-Qanun Fi Al-Tibb and, thus, harnessed the power of nature to control nature. Future research is recommended to find the pest control merits of the presented medicinal plants, in order to incorporate them into pest control programs and reduce environmental pollution resulting from the complications of current synthetic pesticides.
