Cucurbitaceae family snake gourd (Trichosanthes anguina L.), grown in many Asian countries and Southern US States; characteristic aroma, green, tender stems, forked tendrils, heart-shaped shaped or palmately broad leaves; long lacy fringed, five-petalled, day-night open, white unisexual flowers; multifarious health benefiting fruits; resists major fungal, bacterial, and viral diseases, repels aphids, insects, and beetles (Cerotoma trifurcata) from pumpkin, squash, and bean plants if interposed among the target vines (U.S. patent application Ser. No. 17/942,119); claimed commercial use of the intensely aromatic distinct variety of Trichosanthes cucumerina summer plant extract/oil or synthetically prepared the same aromatic product for uniformly spraying upon the target vines and testing on other target fruit vines, fruit plants, and fruit trees, and vegetable plants throughout the year; potential replacement for bee-killing, water resources polluting, human, aquatics, and wildlife infecting chemical pesticides like Sevin, Malathion, Diazinon, and Neonicotinoids (Neonics), and replacement for manually killing of pests.
