Neem Oil Amarjothi 100ML

Neem oil is a natural, organic product derived from the seeds of the neem tree (Azadirachta indica). It is widely used in gardening and agriculture for its insecticidal, fungicidal, and antimicrobial properties. Here’s a detailed description of neem oil for plants:

Benefits for Orchids Plants

Insect Control: Effective against a wide range of pests, including aphids, whiteflies, spider mites, and mealybugs. It works by interfering with the insects' hormonal systems, deterring feeding, and preventing larvae from maturing.

Fungal Disease Prevention: Controls fungal diseases such as powdery mildew, black spot, and rust by inhibiting the growth and spread of fungal spores.

Antibacterial Properties: Helps in managing bacterial infections in plants.

Safe for Beneficial Insects: Neem oil is non-toxic to beneficial insects like bees, butterflies, and ladybugs when used as directed.

Environmentally Friendly: Biodegradable and safe for use around pets and wildlife.

Application Instructions

Dilution: Mix neem oil with water, typically at a ratio of 1-2 tablespoons of neem oil per gallon of water. Add a few drops of mild liquid soap as an emulsifier to help the oil mix with the water.

Spraying: Use a spray bottle or garden sprayer to apply the solution to all plant surfaces, including the undersides of leaves where pests often hide. Ensure thorough coverage but avoid excessive application that causes runoff.

Frequency: Apply neem oil every 7-14 days as a preventative measure. For active infestations or fungal issues, apply every 7 days until the problem is under control.

Storage and Handling

Storage: Store neem oil in a cool, dark place. Ensure the container is tightly sealed to maintain its potency.

Handling: Wear gloves and protective clothing when handling neem oil. While generally safe, it’s best to avoid direct contact with skin and eyes.

Precautions

Application Timing: Apply neem oil in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid leaf burn caused by the sun.

Sensitivity Test: Test the solution on a small section of the plant before full application to ensure no adverse reactions.

Neem oil is a versatile and effective solution for managing pests and diseases in an eco-friendly manner, promoting healthier plants and a safer garden environment.
