Buhach
Buhach is a term that can refer to several different subjects, including a type of plant and a community in California. This article will cover both the plant and the community.
Buhach Plant[edit | edit source]
The term "Buhach" is often used to refer to a type of pyrethrum, which is a genus of several flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. Pyrethrum is known for its insecticidal properties and is commonly used in natural pesticides. The active compounds in pyrethrum are called pyrethrins, which are extracted from the flowers of the plant.
Uses[edit | edit source]
Pyrethrum has been used for centuries as a natural insecticide. It is effective against a wide range of insects, including mosquitoes, fleas, and lice. Pyrethrins work by attacking the nervous system of insects, leading to paralysis and death.
Cultivation[edit | edit source]
Pyrethrum plants are typically grown in regions with a temperate climate. They require well-drained soil and full sunlight to thrive. The flowers are harvested and dried before the pyrethrins are extracted.
