Answer 2

I was going to say any garden center will have them. But if you want delivery, I'd go online. And "Neem" isn't a brand, but an ingredient. There are about eleventy-million different products with Neem oil in them. And often, the label is different, but the product on the inside is exactly the same. For instance, Bonide markets it as BoNeem insecticidal soap, Rose care 3-in-1, Vegetable 3-in-1, and I think at least one other. Same stuff inside. So it's not so much what it's called - just that it's a product with Neem oil. Google Neem oil products, and you shoulld find a host of retailers offering a myriad of manufacturers, and ones who will ship to you.

Answer 4

Neem oil is a botanical pesticide made from an extract of the plant Azadirachta indica. Since it doesn't strongly affect humans, mammals, or beneficial bugs, farmers use neem oil as an insecticide and miticide to keep away pests like aphids and white flies. Neem oil even protects crops from fungal infections such as mildew and rust. People use insecticide with neem oil to repel mosquitoes and lice.



The plant that gives us neem oil originates in Southeast Asia. People from India have long noted the benefits of crushing the leaves and stems against their skin to keep off biting insects like gnats & mosquitoes. A wider industrial and commercial use was found for the potent oil by grinding the seeds of the neem plant. When the oil is distilled from seeds, its concentrated mixture contains high amounts of the active chemical azadirachtin.



Azadirachtin-rich neem oil gets sprayed on crops as an organic substitute for other harsher insecticides that might be carcinogenic or have limited uses. Neem oil repels harmful insects like white flies (not in India), gnats, aphids, mites, and weevils, as well as strengthening the crops against rust, scab, mildew, and blight. Edible crops of vegetables do not get poisoned when neem oil is used.



Neem oil makes the plants it touches taste bitter, so pests won't eat them, as a "contact" insecticide. Azadirachtin also interrupts insects' transitions between different stages of metamorphosis, such as growing from larvae to pupae. It prevents insects from developing a hardened exoskeleton. When the chemical gets absorbed through the roots of crops, it functions as a "systemic insecticide." That means crops don't need to be constantly re-sprayed.

Answer 5

A pesticide and that is all we need to know. We shouldn't use pesticides no matter how good they seem, we can use fertilizers but pesticides are different, they are much more harmful. I think we should go out and get rid of the pests ourselves wearing gloves and protective clothes.
