ABSTRACT:
Anacyclus pyrethrum is a plant belongs to the family Asteraceae and commonly known as Akarakara.

The deaths of the insects were associated with the insecticidal properties of the pyrethrum. Since then the pyrethrum has undergone extensive research establishing its complete, effective and safe commercial exploitation as a source of the natural insecticides collectively known as pyrethrins. Here an attempt made to collect different scientific data of Anacyclus pyrethrum and review its potential..
