Description

Azadirachtin, 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.

Available Formulations:

Azadirachtin 0.03% EC (300ppm)

Azadirachtin 0.3% EC (3,000ppm)

Azadirachtin 0.15% EC (1500ppm)

Azadirachtin 1% EC (10,000ppm)

Azadirachtin 3% EC (30,000ppm)

Azadirachtin 5% EC (50,000ppm)

Azadirachtin 10% EC (1,00,000ppm)

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.

Key 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.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS)

Why is Azadirachtin considered a botanical insecticide?

Azadirachtin is extracted from neem seeds and is widely used for eco-friendly pest management in a wide range of agricultural crops.

How does Azadirachtin affect insect pests? +

Instead of killing insects immediately, it suppresses feeding, disrupts moulting, and interferes with reproduction, gradually reducing the pest population.

Which insects can be managed with Azadirachtin? +

It helps manage aphids, whiteflies, thrips, jassids, caterpillars, leaf miners, mealybugs, and several other crop pests.

Can Azadirachtin be used in an IPM program? +

Yes. It is commonly included in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs because it is compatible with many beneficial insects when used according to label recommendations.

Why do farmers choose Azadirachtin over conventional insecticides? +

It offers botanical pest management, helps reduce pest multiplication, lowers resistance pressure, and is suitable for sustainable crop protection strategies.
