Neem oil insecticide is better than chemical insecticides
Neem oil insecticide is boon for gardeners.It gets rid of fungicides,harmful insects and even japanese bettles.You can spray neem oil insecticide on almost any plant including tomato,apple,vegetables,etc.
It is natural and non toxic.It kills harmful insects by disturbing their birth cycles.The taste of your fruits and vegetables is not affected as it is organic product.It has no known harmful effects.Its only disadvantage is that the effects are slow.You need to have some patience while spraying neem oil insecticide in your garden.
Chemical insecticides are harmful
Chemical insecticides are slow poisons.They kill both the harmful and helpful insects.The sprayed chemical enters leaves of plant and from that into your food chain.So finally some of poison ends up inside you also!Any insect that survives chemical insecticide will pass the "resistance" genetically to their offsprings.
Neem oil insecticide is free from all the disadvantages of chemical insecticides and is more powerful also.Neem oil that is absorbed by leaves and ends up in your food chain is not harmful.People are eating neem leaves without any adverse effects for thousands of years to cleanse the blood,stimulate the liver, and to boost the immune system.
Why it is so effective
Instead of killing insects It disrupts the hormonal balance of insects.Neem oil contains Azadirachtin.Azadirachtin slows down pesticide attack on your garden in two ways :
- Anti-feedant : Pesticides are deterred from feeding.It leads to short life cycle.
- Disrupts hormonal balance : It prevents insects from molting.The die before before reaching sexual maturity.So they are unable to reproduce.
Neem oil contains the hormones similar to the hormones produced by harmful insects.Once these insects chew the neem oil sprayed leaves,the neem oil hormones enters their body.It disrupts normal hormonal cycle of insects and causes :
- inhibition of the development of the eggs and larvae
- Disturbed sexual communication
- Deterring females from laying eggs
- Deterring feeding
- Blocking of the molting
In short,it disrupts the whole life cycle of insects naturally.By two to three life cycles of insects,you will see that the insects have disappeared from your garden.
Why it never kills friendly insects
It does not kills any bugs that are beneficial to your plants like bee,spider,butterfly.It is not a slow poison like chemical insecticides but a miracle of god.Friendly insects eat the harmful insects while harmful insects eat leaves.Once a harmful insect eats neem oil sprayed leaves,it enters the body of harmful insects.Once it is inside the body of harful insect,it causes harmonal imbalance and disrupts its life cycle.Since friendly insects never eat leaves,they are safe from its effects.
Precautions while spraying it on plants
It never kills your friendly insects purposefully But if you spray any kind of oil over a insect,it will suffocate and die. Spray it in the early morning and evening when your friendly insects are least active.
