- Mode of Action
A very wide spectrum of phytophagous insect-pests is affected by this Neem formulation. It controls the pest population through a triple action activity – acting as a feeding deterrent, oviposition inhibitor and insect growth regulator. The neem based bio-chemicals act as contact and in a systemic manner. Bio-chemicals from Karanj oil, pongamol and karanjin generally act synergistically.
- Salient Features
-
NICO NEEM is non-toxic to beneficial and non-target organisms.
-
It is generally compatible with chemical pesticides (unless highly acidic or highly alkaline) so as to provide complementary activity in integrated pest management (IPM) programs.
-
It leaves no residue in the soil, crop or the environment and is highly bio degradable.
-
An excellent alternative to hazardous chemical fungicides.
-
It is extracted using the Cold Press Extraction process and therefore, retains nutrients and active ingredients.
-
Effective pesticide, nematicide, insecticide, as well as miticide. Excellent for crops as well as for veterinary use.
-
It is truly an environment friendly product.
-
- Effectiveness
Neem is effective against more than 200 species of insect-pests, some of whom are resistant to chemical pesticides or are otherwise difficult to control. It acts as a feeding deterrent, oviposition inhibitor and insect growth regulator and therefore, though it may not kill instantaeneously, the eventual results are very effective.NICO NEEM is effective against sucking insects such as Aphids, Leaf Hoppers, Mealy Bugs, Mites, the White Fly and Thrips as well as chewing insects such as Stem Borer, Fruit Borer, Capsule Borer, Caterpillars, etc.
NICO NEEM increases the population of Beneficial insects (Bio Agents): Experiments were conducted at the Gujarat Agricultural University, Anand – India. One such experiment was conducted at the Bio-Control Project of Gujarat Agricultural University, Anand, India during 1994 to study the effect of Nico Neem in conserving beneficial insects (Bio-agents).
- NICO NEEM for vector control
Vector borne infections (VBI) are common around the globe and they account for many devastating diseases like malaria, filariasis, dengue &chikungunya. Studies have shown NICO NEEM to be highly effective in vector control. A spray of NICO NEEM in mosquito infested areas can greatly reduce their population.
- NICO NEEM treated bed nets (ITN)
An insecticide treated net is a mosquito net that repels, disables or kills mosquitoes coming into contact with it. There are two types of treated nets:
-
Conventional Insecticide treated net (ITN)
-
Long lasting insecticidal nets (LLIN)
How is ITN different from LLIN? LLIN is a factory treated net made with netting material that has insecticide incorporated within or bound around the fibers. Whereas a conventional ITN is a mosquito net that the user himself can treat by dipping in a WHO recommended insecticide. To make a natural insecticide treated bed net, make a mixture of NICO NEEM and water at 50ml/liter of water and dip the bed net into this mixture. To ensure its continued insecticidal effect the net should be re-treated after 3 washes or at least twice a year.

- NICO NEEM for locust control
NICO NEEM prevents locusts from developing into their migratory swarms which are destructive to vegetation. Although alive, they become solitary, lethargic, almost motionless and thus extremely susceptible to predators such as birds. Grasshopper nymphs are affected by NICO NEEM in a similar way.
Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Application Technique
- Insecticide Target Species
- Application Guideline
The emulsifiable concentrate can easily be diluted with water to make a colloidal suspension which should be sprayed on the crop. Being oil based, it is recommended that NICO NEEM be diluted with water in a separate container before filling into a spray pump. In order to avoid clogging of spray pumps, do not leave any left over mixture in it. Mix a fresh batch for each application. In case of rain after spraying of NICO NEEM, re-apply the dose.
- Dosage
- 300 ppm – 5ml to 7ml / liter of water
- 1500 ppm – 4ml to 5ml / liter of water
- 3000 ppm – 3ml to 4ml / liter of water
- 10000 ppm – 2ml to 3ml / liter of water
Depending upon canopy development, 400-600 liters of this colloidal suspension can be sprayed on the crop of one hectare area.
