Baking Soda as a Pesticide

[ZandraJoi]

What does baking soda will do in gardening> does this is same as which we use in cooking? I am thinking it is a different type of baking soda to kill insects and worms.
Please explain to me its functions and other uses.

Baking soda is also known as Sodium Bicarbonate, the same thing used for cooking. Not to be confused with baking POWDER. While it is known as an insecticide/pesticide, I've had better luck with other means. Baking soda however is great as a fungicide.
It can also be used to clean the home, clean your produce, in the bath for a nice soak.
