        abstract = {Pesticides boost agricultural productivity by controlling pests and other dangerous organisms. The use of synthetic pesticides has caused significant environmental and health issues, emphasizing the need for organic alternatives. This project aims to produce natural pesticidal oil from custard apple seeds (Annona squamosa) as an alternative to chemical pesticides. Custard apple seeds include phytochemicals with antibacterial, hepatoprotective, antioxidant, and anti-tumor effects. The extracted solvents used were n-hexane, benzene, and ethyl acetate, with comparative yields being investigated. To identify the main chemicals with pesticidal action and assess their suitability for medical use, FTIR was employed. According to these results, custard apple seed oil has a lot of potential for further medical research, particularly in the treatment of cancer, and might be a useful bioresource for natural pesticidal substances in the future. Therefore, with more research into the synthesis of natural pesticides from custard apple seed oil, the current study successfully supports the principles of ecologically friendly and sustainable pest management while also suggesting the likely health benefits of CAO. The results encourage further study into the numerous agricultural and medicinal uses of custard apple seed oil.},
