In 2013 scientific research was done regarding the effectiveness of Aloe Vera as a pest control agent. In an experiment, several organic pest control agents were compared against aphid on Canola. The experiment showed Aloe Vera to be the most effective. Aloe Vera offered Canola the best protection from aphid and generated the biggest yield. In the table the results of the research are shown. Here you can read the research yourself.
