excellent safety profile for higher organisms,
especially birds and mammals, makes it a better
alternative to chemical pesticides.
7BENEFITS OF NEEM OIL FOR PLANTS ITS NOT HARMFUL
TO BENEFICIAL INSECTS Neem oil primarily attacks
bugs that feed on plant material by inhibiting
their feeding and causing them to die off. Its
important to protect pollinators and neem plant
friendly insects like bees, butterflies, and
other beneficial bugs like ladybugs. PREVENTION
AGAINST NEMATODES Nematodes can decimate your
plants but extracting neem in a specific way can
help control even the most harmful nematodes. It
prevents the larvae from hatching, stopping the

insecticides only target a specific stage of a
pests life egg, larval, or adult. Neem oil is
able to kill insects throughout their lifecycle
because it works in a variety of ways Prevents
feeding (adult stage) Disrupts growth (larval
stage) Smothers out (egg / larval stage)
Dosage Method of Application NEEM OIL can be
mixed with water and used in spray pumps to coat
the aerial parts of the plants that come under
