Eco-Neem

eco-neem is a registered organic insecticide for the control of a broad range of chewing and sucking insects including: caterpillars, curl grubs, grasshoppers (wingless), aphids, mites, lawn armyworm, citrus leafminer, whitefly, mealybugs and fungus gnats in soil. It will also control sooty mould. Overseas registration includes over 200 pest insects. Made from extracts of the neem tree (Azadirachtin A & B) and mixed with other plant oils to enhance it’s stability and shelf-life. eco-neem works in multiple ways with the two main actions being suppression of insect appetite (they starve to death) and restricting growth (unable to moult successfully). Plant damage stops as soon as the insect ingests eco-neem but insect death may take several days depending on their size and type. eco-neem is safe for pets, birds, lizards and beneficial insects including bees. Avoid using around ponds and in aquaponics as it can be harmful to fish. eco-neem is approved for use on ornamental plants only. It currently does not have approval for use on edible plants.

Compatibility: eco-neem is compatible with eco-oil (an emulsified botanical oil spray). CAUTION PLANT SAFETY: Trials on sensitive plants such as ferns, poinsettias and African violets have resulted in leaf damage. Testing a small area is recommended before spraying to determine sensitive species and varieties. DO NOT allow chemical containers or spray to get into drains, sewers, streams or ponds. DO NOT feed treated grass clippings to livestock. STORAGE & DISPOSAL: Store in the closed, original container in a cool, dry place out of the reach of children. Do not store in direct sunlight.
