NEEM AS FORTIFIER

Vegetative boosters or fortifiers, these products are designed to boost

plants during the vegetative cycle beyond what a typical base nutrient can provide. Many people focus on the bloom stage for the best time to really give plants an added boost. This however is not always the best option. For plants to support gigantic flower sites and fruits, they require extra strong stems, roots and branches. These are best to develop during the grow stage so that your plants will be healthy enough during their bloom. Strong healthy stems, roots and branches also mean’s your plants will be less susceptible to insects disease and other hazards on your plants life. Also there are many plants that do not have a flower or bloom stage and may still need the extra boost not received from base nutrients only. It contains Nitrogen as nutrients and a well balanced higher level of Phosphorus and Potash as well to compliment.

Neem Oil is used as a "liquid plant feed". As it contains Macro & micro nutrients with certain lipids and Antioxidants.

Total Nitrogen 1.20% by mass
Phosphorus as p 0.07% by mass
Potassium as K 0.01% by mass
Magnesium as Mg 0.03% by mass
Copper as Cu 10 ppm
Magnesium, as Mn 0.40 ppm
Zinc as Zn 20.00 ppm
Iron content 14.00 ppm

Neem kernel lipids are similar to the normal glycerides. contains oleic acid (50-60%), palmitic acid (13-15%), stearic acid (14-19%), linoleic acid (8-16%) and arachidic acid (1-3%). It contains lipid-soluble properties which act as a stimulant to improve vegetative growth and intake of micro nutrients.

linolenic acid.: Jasmonic acid  a constituent of Lineloic acid and its various metabolites is regulating plant responses to abiotic and biotic stresses as well as plant growth and development. Regulated plant growth and development processes include growth inhibition, senescence, tendril coiling, flower development and leaf abscission. JA is also responsible for tuber formation in potatoes, yams, and onions.

Stearic acid is found in low abundance in plant cell membranes, and has been shown to inhibit plant growth at higher concentrations in leaves.

Tocopherol content (1.17 mg/g), Tocopherols were proposed to function in relation to their antioxidant properties being prominent in protection of polysaturated fatty acids from lipid peroxidation.
