How does neem oil affect pests?
- Neem seeds and leaves contain many compounds which are useful for pest control. BioNeem is a combination of azadirachtin and a clarified hydrophobic extract of neem oil.
- Azadirachtin disturbs the hormones in the pests affecting the appetite (Antifeedant - insects starve to death) and growth of the pests (Inhibit development into adults), making it hard for them to multiply (Anti-oviposition, less likely to lay eggs on treated surfaces). Neem oil also suffocates the pests to kill them.
When and how should you apply BioNeem.
- Because of the way BioNeem works, it is more effective on young stages of insects and less effective on mature insects.
- It is important to cover all of the surface areas of a plant. Insects will find the untreated spots to feed on and survive.
- Mix 1 ml BioNeem with 1 litre of water. Please read this label for detailed information.
- Apply two to three sprays about five days apart. For preventative treatments, spray every three to four weeks.
- Neem biodegrades in sunlight, water and by microbial activity in 7 – 10 days.
