100ml !Prof Neem Pesticide

!Prof Neem Pesticide is derived from the seeds and fruit of the neem tree (Azadirachta indica). It is one of the most versatile pest and insect control tools in the garden. As an insecticide it kills small soft-bodied insects like Aphids, Mealybugs, Mites, Thrips And Whiteflies on contact.

Spraying Neem pesticide as a knockdown followed by releases of generalist beneficial insects, like Green Lacewing, is a good way to minimize pest populations that are already present in the growing area. For organic growers, Neem pesticide allows spot treatment to occur with minimal impact on the "good bugs" or surrounding environment.

How Does Neem Oil Work?

One of the main components of Neem pesticide is the chemical Azadirachtin, but it also contains other active compounds. As an insecticide, it works in two main ways:

It serves as an anti-feedant when insects come in contact with or ingest it. Using a surfactant (spreader/sticker) when applying Neem pesticide will increase spray coverage.

Neem functions as a hormone disruptor and growth regulator to affected insects. This property disrupts natural development of the insect by preventing normal hormone releases that trigger growth and maturation.

Neem pesticide has many other functions - it serves as a fungicide, a bactericide, and it kills Plant Parasitic Nematodes but is compatible with Beneficial Nematodes.

Benefits and Uses of Neem Pesticide for plants

It doesn’t create “death zones” as other pesticides can: Neem pesticide does not create a dead zone around treated plants, trees or shrubs like other synthetic insecticides can. It only targets leaf-sucking and chewing insects. Synthetic pesticides creep away from the sprayed areas to create “death zones” that can kill beneficial insects as well as other animals.

Control insects at all stages of development: Neem pesticide kills insects at all stages of development — adult, larvae and egg. The active chemical in it, azadirachtin, gets rid of insects in a few different ways: As an antifeedant, hormone disruptor, smothering. Azadirachtin will force the insect or pest to stop eating the leaves. When insects come into contact with neem pesticide, it also prevents the bug from transforming into its next stage of development by disrupting regulatory hormones.

 Effectively controls hundreds of insects: It is an effective pesticide that gets rid of over 200 species of insects, not just a few. Some of the most common include: Aphids, Mites, Scale, Leaf hoppers, White flies, Caterpillars, Mites, Mealybugs, Thrips.

Effective at controlling nematodes: Nematodes are difficult to control and can be very destructive to plants. Certain extracts from neem kernels have shown to provide good control over root-knot nematodes — one of the most destructive kinds. Neem pesticide works by preventing larvae from hatching.

Beneficial earthworms won’t be harmed: While traditional chemical pesticides can harm earthworms, neem pesticide has the opposite effect by encouraging earthworm activity. Why is this important? Earthworms are beneficial to garden soil. As they tunnel though the dirt, they create pathways that allow air and rain water to reach plant roots. These little earthworms also leave behind excrement, known as casts, that contain nutrients for the soil, including potassium, nitrogen and phosphorous. When earthworms die, their decaying bodies also help fertilize the soil

It can be used as a dormant-season application: Since neem oil can kill insects at varying stages, you can use it as a dormant-season application to kill overwinter pests and eggs or as a foliar spray to repel and kill insects including: Tent caterpillars, leaf rollers and other caterpillar eggs that remain on plant leaves during winter

Aphids that cause leaf curling the following spring, Mites that overwinter on plant leaves, Scale insects. You can also use it as foliar spray during the growing season to control common pests, such as: Aphids, Spider mites, Whiteflies, Leafhoppers.

 Control lawn grubs: Lawn grubs are the larval stage of Japanese beetles, and they can be very destructive to your lawn. They tunnel under turf and nibble on grass roots. Neem pesticide also works to control Japanese beetles by preventing them from laying eggs that become destructive larvae. It also inhibits grub growth and repels them from the grass roots. For best results, spray the lawn with neem oil at night and reapply after rainfall.

Safe on indoor plants:

One of the worst feelings is seeing your indoor plants overrun with aphids. Neem pesticide is safe to use indoors to prevent pests and disease. Just spray the leaves to kill pests without having the worry of harming your kids or household pets.

 It’s safe for greenhouse use: The conditions in a greenhouse provide the perfect environment for mites, aphids, scale insects and whiteflies. Don’t give these pests a chance! Use neem pesticide to prevent these insects from destroying your plants.

Great fungicide: You can use neem oil to prevent or even kill fungus on your plants. Use neem pesticide and other common fungal diseases, including: Black spot, Scab, Rust, Leaf spot, Anthracnose, Tip blight.
