Pesticides are compounds with strong insecticidal properties that are used to manage undesired plants, animals, and microbes. In the current era, increase in world’s population effect the essential human needs like food, healthcare, and many more others. The main objective of this research was to formulate inorganic pesticide spray and its efficiency in maize crop. For this purpose total eight spraying sessions were applied on Faisalabad's maize crop. Physiochemical analysis of Faisalabad soil were assessed before and after the use of formulated and standard insecticide spray. The following pests were selected for the experiment: Zyginia sp. (maize jassid), Athenigona sp. (shot fly), Chilo partellus (stem borer), and Rhopalosipuon onqids (maize aphid). Three maize crop plots were chosen as the control, treated, and standard. The following inorganic chemicals were used for the formulation of pesticide spray: boric acid, potash alum, sodium bicarbonate, and copper sulphate. The findings of the physiochemical investigation demonstrated that the prepared spray had no adverse influence on the physiochemical parameters of Faisalabad soil prior to and after application. The pesticidal potential study revealed that inorganic pesticidal spray has a considerable effect on insect infestation management compared to the control and standard.
