Pure Organic Neem Oil and Flora
For safe and effective control of insects and diseases in your lawn and garden, neem oil is an excellent organic solution. It functions as both a pesticide and fungicide, tackling pests like tomato hornworms, corn earworms, aphids, and whiteflies, while also combating common fungal diseases.
Neem oil is favored by organic gardeners due to its safety for humans, pets, livestock, and most wildlife. It specifically targets harmful pests, leaving beneficial insects like bees and ladybugs unharmed unless sprayed directly.
In addition to its pest control properties, pure neem oil has various health applications, though it should not be ingested, as it can irritate the eyes, skin, and stomach. Neem oil breaks down quickly and leaves no harmful residue, making it safe to apply up to the day of harvest. However, avoid using it near waterways, as it can be toxic to fish and aquatic life.
Neem oil works by repelling insects on contact and can be absorbed by plants, further deterring feeding. Its key ingredient, azadirachtin, disrupts the hormonal systems of plant-feeding insects, inhibiting their feeding, mating, and growth, which helps prevent resistance over time.
Additionally, neem oil stimulates a plant’s immune response to fight off fungal diseases like mildew, rust, and blight, and it can be effectively used as a soil drench for enhanced protection.

How Does Neem Oil Soil Drench Work?
Neem soil drench acts as a systemic insecticide, even for fruit trees. When applied, the plant absorbs the active ingredient, azadirachtin, which spreads throughout its vascular system. This means any part of the plant consumed by pests contains the pesticide.
Azadirachtin also helps protect plants from fungal infections, making neem oil effective against soil-dwelling larvae and root rot. It targets harmful pests and pathogens without harming beneficial organisms like earthworms.
Using neem oil as a soil drench for tomato plants is particularly beneficial due to their susceptibility to nematodes.
Note: Neem oil insecticide is not recommended as a soil drench for cannabis. You can use Calro NEEM Oil Ready-to-Use spray as a soil drench or mix your own with NEEM OIL Concentrate.
