Neem is an organic insecticide derived from Azadirachta indica, a tree from India, native to Burna region and the arid areas of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It is a kind of rapid growth, which can reach about 20 meters high, whose wood is reddish, hard and very tough.
NEEM OILConsidered as a pesticide or biological insecticide, Neem oil is the natural way to control insects (ex .: aphids, thrips) and fungal diseases. The azadirachtina, active substance present in this oil is an extremely powerful natural chemical. This means that while using it, we will avoid the application of traditional synthetic chemicals that are highly toxic and destructive of biodiversity.
One of the properties of Neem is its great efficiency and low degree of toxicity. It is not toxic to humans and animals, and is fully biodegradable.
Only the insects harmful to plant growth is that are affected by Neem oil. Bees, ladybugs and other beneficial insects are completely unharmed.
