Neem Oil Main Ingredients
and Uses

Agriculture

Neem oil is widely used as a natural pesticide. It disrupts the life cycles of harmful insects, repelling pests like aphids, mites, and whiteflies. It is safe for beneficial insects, such as bees, making it a popular choice for organic farming.

Hair Care

Due to its moisturizing and antimicrobial properties, neem oil is also used in hair care products to treat scalp conditions and promote healthy hair growth.

Skin care

Neem oil is commonly used in lotions, soaps, and other skincare products due to its antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps treat conditions like acne, eczema, and dandruff.

Medicinal

Traditionally, neem oil has been used in Ayurveda to treat a variety of ailments, from skin infections to digestive disorders.

Neem oil as insecticide

Neem oil's multi-pronged action makes it effective against a wide range of pests, while being less harmful to beneficial insects like bees. This makes it ideal for organic and integrated pest management.. Neem oil's insecticidal properties work through several mechanisms, primarily due to its active compound azadirachtin, which interferes with the life cycle of insects in the following ways

Inhibits Feeding

Azadirachtin acts as an **anti-feedant**, causing insects to lose their appetite. Once insects ingest neem oil, it disrupts their hormonal system, preventing them from continuing to feed on plant tissues.

Repels Insects

Neem oil works as an insect repellent by affecting the insect's chemoreceptors, making the treated plants unattractive. This prevents insects from landing on or feeding off the plant.

Disrupts Egg-Laying

Neem oil reduces the number of eggs that insects lay and prevents eggs from hatching. It disrupts the normal function of oviposition (egg-laying) hormones.

Disrupts Growth and Reproduction

- Neem oil interferes with the insect’s **endocrine system**, specifically their ecdysteroid hormone, which regulates molting and reproduction. This disruption:
- Prevents larvae from molting, halting their growth and development.
- Inhibits adult insects from laying eggs, reducing their reproductive success.

Repels Insects

Neem oil can coat the insects' spiracles (breathing pores) when applied directly, effectively suffocating pests like mites, aphids, and whiteflies.

Caution

Test with a small amount first Oil base insecticide can burn leaf by suffocation, thus apply a small amount during midday to the target crop and observe for any adverse effects before full application.

Caution with hot sunlight If applied under intense sunlight, the oil and soap (detergent) may dry quickly, causing damage.

Manage according to temperature Neem oil solidifies below 15°C, but it can be dissolved by placing it in warm water.

Apply in the evening Azadirachtin is easily degraded by UV light, so it should be applied after 6 PM after sunset.

Resistance development prevention Recommend to use mixing with synthetic pesticides to enhance efficacy and prevent pest resistance development.
