NEEM AS BIO-FERTILIZER
Neem acts as a bio fertilizer and helps in providing the required nutrients to plants. It is widely used to ensure a high yield of crops. Neem is used as a fertilizer both for food as well as cash crops, particularly vegetables and sugarcane. Benefits of Neem Fertilizer:
- Performs the dual function of both fertilizer as well as pesticide
- Acts as a soil enricher
- Provides macro nutrients essential for all plant growth
- Helps to increase the yield of plants in the long run
- Bio degradable and Eco friendly
- Excellent soil conditioner
This is we find out that the Neem oil can be used as Natural feed to the Agricultural Crops, Hydroponics, Aeroponics, Greenhouses, Shadehouses, Glasshouses, Ornamentals, Plantations, Interiorscapes, Horticulture, Landscapes, Nurseries, Turf Grass, Shrubs, Trees etc..
Below is all the technical stuff, although as a totally organic, natural product, Neem Oil (1000ppm)contains:
| Azadiractin :Min1000ppm | Nimbin : Min 850ppm | Salanin :Min 1500ppm |
| Nitrogen : Min 4% | Phosphorus :Min 1.5% | Potassium :Min 1.5% |
| PH :3.5 | EC(dS/m) :2.2 | Calcium :Min 0.7% |
| Magnesium :Min 0.5% | Sodium :8(mg/Kg) | Sulphate :12(mg/Kg) |
| Copper :14(mg/Kg) | Iron :600(mg/kg) | Manganese : 22(mg/kg) |
| Zinc :54(mg/kg) | Silica :1.04% | Sulphur :Min 1.20% |
Neem Oil acts as A crop booster, Soil Preserver / Soil Amendment, Efficiency booster for fertilizers, Supplementary role, Nitrification inhibitor, Denitrification agent, Leaching Reducer.
A TYPICAL ANALYSIS OF NEEM OIL CAKE (in general)
| Ca (calcium) | 0.96% | Cu (Copper) | 19 PPM |
| P (Phosphorus) | 0.44% | Zn (Zinc) | 19 PPM |
| Na (Sodium) | 0.40% | Fe (Iron) | 2705 PPM |
| K (Potassium) | 0.98% | Co (cobalt) | 1.5 PPM |
| N (nitrogen) | Varies by decomposition process | Mn (Manganese) | 70 PPM |
Neem Oil cake puts vital minerals back into the soil.
| Crude protein | 13-35% | Fat | 2 - 13% |
| Carbohydrate | 26-50% | Ash | 5-18% |
| Crude Fiber | 8-26% | Acid - Insoluble Ash | 1-17% |
NEEM OIL CAKE decomposes slowly giving steady source of nitrogen along with aldehyde, fatty acids, tannins and phenol helps roots to keep growing and keeps the parasites (that feeds on roots) in check. If you are familiar with supplements of vitamins and trace minerals and positive effects of herbs in human lives, this is the herb for the plants.
