The study has three main sections: (i) substances which are already approved for use in the UK, for example, Pyerthrins and Derris; (ii) substances licensed for use as pesticides eleswhere in the world, for example Neem and Linalool; and (iii) plant materials or substances which have some documented biocidally active potential but which have not been developed commercially, for example Delphinine and Hibiscus.
