How to use effectively:
Shake well before you decan. Add 15ml(1.5%) of NEEM OIL concentrate and 15ml(1.5%) to soap soluble to 1L warm water, stir slow. For larger batches to mix work on 1 – 1.5% of Neem oil and 1-1.5% of Soapy soluble on you total mixture for example if you want to start with normal mixture for example 100L water you will mix 1.5L(1.5%) Neem Oil to 1.5L(1.5%) soapy soluble with warm warm water, stir slow the mixture and then pour in to rest of the 100L water and mix slow. This is a strong mixture for the harder to kill insects but if you want to work more economical you can go lower on the Neem oil for example 1% which is 1L on 100L water and then test to ensure it is strong enough to kill insects. If you find the mixture to weak you can increase the % Neem oil untill you get the most effective and cost effective mixture that works.
VERY IMPORTANT: Spray plants before 12o’clock in morning and after 3 o’clock in afternoon to ensure that the oil contents do not burn the plant in the heat of the day.
Use the mixture within 8 hours, discard if not used within the 8 hours period. We suggest you just mix what you will need for the single spray for the day to ensure you do not waste product.
VERY IMPORTANT TEST do this before you use the product >: If you want to ensure the product solution is not to strong for the specific plant, first spray a leaf to test. If the leaf turns yellow or dry after a day then you know this formulation is to strong. You can add a bit of water to dilute the strength and then test again to get the best workable solution for your specific plant.
Take note that for seedlings, young plants and herbs you need to weaken the strength of the product by adding same amount of water to the ready made mixture(50/50) to ensure that the plant do not get burned by the spray. You however can do a initial 0.75% Neem Oil mixture for seedlings and herbs to ensure it is not to strong that it will burn the plants/seedlings.
Spray to top and bottom of the leaf thoroughly and also blossoms to ensure that plant is fully covered with the Neem Oil mixture. Spray also around bottom of stem to stop the ants from getting up the plant.
The Neem oil mixture will be effective on some insects on plant immediately but other insects will take 3 – 7 days for death to occur, however damage is almost reduced immediately due to the anti-feedent effect of the product.
Fungus on plants can also be managed by spraying the plant and all new leaves thoroughly. The new leaves will be clear and clean from fungus if the spray is done on a regular basis. During this period you can spray weekly until the new leaves appear free of the fungus. Thereafter every 14 days as a preventative spray program.
Under high insect infestation , apply every 7 days, under periods of low infestation, apply every 14 days in a preventative spray program. Can be applied until the day of harvest.
A Note of Caution
Each plant species can react differently to various pesticide formulas. If using Neem Oil as a foliar spray, test a single leaf before applying the spray to the whole plant to mitigate the risk of losing the plant if it responds poorly to the treatment. If using Neem as a soil drench, reduce the formula strength for the first treatment or only drench a single plant (if you have multiples of the same species) and see how the plant responds before increasing the concentration.
