The neem tree, Azadirachta indica A. Juss, is virtually free of insects, mites, and nematodes due to natural substances present in the leaves, roots and kernels. The whole tree is bestowed by nature with an ultimate resistant system which always effectively repels and starves various pests. Neem extracts containing azadirachtin exhibit anti-feedant, repellent, and growth regulatory effects against various pests. Predators and parasites are not affected by neem extracts, and therefore the neem products are ideally suited for integrated pests management concepts. Several botanical insecticides based on neem extracts (e.g., NEEMIX, BioNEEM, Margosan-O, Sukrina 75 EC, Neemark, Nimbosol, Repelin, Wellgro) are available for effective management of whiteflies, leafminers, lepidopteran and coleopteran larvae, locusts, cicadas, aphids on a variety of growing crops and raw agricultural commodities in the field.
