Use Neem Oil Products To Target Insect Pests And Fungal Infections In The Garden
LITITZ, Pa., Dec. 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- More and more, gardeners are seeking out environmentally friendly options for dealing with the pests and diseases that plague their plants. Few substances have proved more effective than neem oil, which works as a dual insecticide-fungicide.
WHAT IS NEEM OIL?
Neem Oil is a natural byproduct of the neem tree, a plant species in the mahogany family. The oil is extracted from the trees' leaves and seeds. While this oil has many uses, including in cosmetics, toothpastes, soaps and shampoos, it's also excellent for use in controlling plant fungus, mites and insects.
Those benefits truly appeal to organic gardeners. Since neem oil is derived from plants, solutions using neem are biodegradable and break down quickly. This means that neem oil products won't persist in the environment as do many synthetic insecticides, which often create problems for wildlife and accumulate in chemical-laced runoff.
