The aim of this work was to build a pesticide plant dataset of sufficiently reasonable size to produce numerous rules with variable support. To this end, we have extracted tables 3, 4, and 5 from Mondédji et al. (2021) and completed data in order to have a dataset that respects the data model. The resulting dataset describes a review of successful essays of pesticidal plants used to protect Brassicaceae against insect pest. Listed insect pests vary according to spatial location. For West Africa, all insect pests are listed. For Africa outside West Africa, pests are Plutella xylostella, Hellula undalis, and aphids (i.e., Lipaphis erysimi and Brevicoryne brassicae). Outside Africa, pests are P. xylostella, H. undalis and aphids (i.e., L. erysimi, B. brassicae, and Lipaphis pseudobrassicae) outside Africa. For each species (including pest), it is indicated whether it is used as medical care and whether it is consumed by human.
