Azadirachtin 1% EC (10,000ppm), a substance extracted from neem seeds, is the primary insecticidal compound found in neem oil. Azadirachtin (Technical) is used as the basic raw material in the formulations of Neem based bio-pesticides, herbal preparations and plant care products.

Azadirachtin based pesticides are one of the most effective broad spectrum bio-pesticides. Azadirachtin together with other constituents of Neem seeds exhibits insect repellant, antifeedant and insect growth regulator properties.

 

Mode of Action:

Azadirachtin’s primary mode of action is as an antifeedant, but it also disrupts normal insect   growth/molting, repels larvae and adults, sterilizes adults and deters egg laying.

Benefits:

• Produce a great variety of secondary metabolites potentially applicable in IPM programs.
• It is a broad spectrum of active action on more than 600 pest species.
• Its chemical complexity minimizes the potential risk of insect resistance.
• Azadirachtin is very well-received by the root system, and, subsequently, it is systematically distributed through the xylem into the green parts of plant tissues and stored in leaves in an unchanged form.
• It is harmless to non-target and beneficial organisms like earthworm, honey bees, mammals and other vertebrates.
• Safe to use with conventional and special fertilizers simultaneously.
• It is organic, non-toxic, 100% biodegradable and eco-friendly.

Target Pest: 

Azadirachtin is a broad spectrum pesticide which affects over 600 species of pests including insects, nematodes, fungi, and viruses, and is completely safe to non-target organisms like beneficial predators, honey bees, pollinators, fish, birds, cattle, and human beings.

Target Plants: 

Fruits, vegetables and plantation crops, greenhouses, turf, outdoor ornamentals and agricultural crops such as sugarcane, paddy, cotton and tea.

Dosage:

1.0% EC: 400-500ml/ acre
