Neem Oil Mother natures contraceptive. Extremely effective insecticide.
Bioneem is the organic gardener’s first choice for keeping nasty pests in the garden away. This amazingly versatile natural insecticide from Biogrow can be used to defend your home-grown greens against up to 200 different types of insects. Bioneem is the perfect alternative to conventional chemical-laden pesticides, and can be used to control fruit flies, white flies, weevils, leaf hoppers and mealybugs to name but a few. Based on a herbal extract from the neem tree, Bioneem gives your plants powerful, lasting protection from all sorts of pests without causing any damage to the environment.
The key insecticidal ingredient found in the neem tree is AZADIRACHTIN, a naturally occurring substance that belongs to an organic molecule class called tetranortriterpenoids.

It is structurally similar to insect hormones called ‘ecdysones’ which control the process of metamorphosis as the insects pass from larva to pupa to adult. Metamorphosis requires the careful synchrony of many hormones and other physiological changes to be successful, and azadirachtin is an ‘ecdysone blocker’. It blocks the insect’s production and release of these vital hormones. Insects then will not moult, thus breaking their life cycle.

Azadirachtin also serves as a feeding deterrent for some insects. Depending on the stage of life-cycle, insect death may not occur for several days. However, upon ingestion of minute quantities, insects become quiescent and stop feeding. Residual insecticidal activity is evident for up to seven days or longer, depending on insects and application rate.

Do not apply in temperatures above 30 degrees C. Bioneem is an emulsifiable concentrate.
