Petroleum spirit, also known as white spirit or mineral spirits, is a solvent derived from crude oil distillation. While not directly used as a pesticide in the modern sense, it has been historically used in agriculture as a carrier for insecticides and fungicides. It is also used as a solvent in the production of agricultural chemicals and in extraction processes related to plant-derived compounds.

Emulsifiable Concentrates:
It was used in the formulation of emulsifiable concentrates, which are liquid pesticide formulations that can be mixed with water.
Oil-based solutions:
Petroleum spirit was also employed in the preparation of oil-based solutions for applying pesticides.
Other Uses in Agriculture:

Petroleum spirit can be used to extract essential oils and other plant compounds that have agricultural applications.
Solvent in chemical analysis:
It can serve as a solvent in analytical techniques used to study plant chemistry.
