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.

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.

I had some white flies and other worms on few plants so want to utilize Toxin free liquids to kill them.

Shake well & spray on. There's almost 4 liters to a gallon so you would have to divide the ratio by 4. If it doesn't help, you can add in 1 to 2T Neem oil to the gallon of water. |
