Cake as Organic Pesticide |
Plasma
Neem Cake protects plants and crops against
parasitical nematodes. It enhances crop
yield. The fertility of the soil is preserved.
This can be seen by an increase in earthworm
population in tracts where Plasma Neem
cake has been used, quite unlike farms
served only by chemical fertilizers. Lawns
and golf courses, dosed with Plasma Neem
Cake, are healthier and do not require
frequent spraying with harmful chemicals. |
