Neem Oil cake for farming:

Neem has its own significance as a Bio-pesticide which is a well known fact. Application of Neem Oil cake in farms and gardens has driven a new era of organic fertilizers. It benefits the farmers in many aspects like:
  • Less in cost
  • Yields better than usual fertilizers
  • Supplies essential nutrients in abundance.
  • Can serve as effective Bio-pesticide controlling field pests
  • Soil fertility is increased
  • Eradicates harmful fungi and bacteria ensuring healthy growth of crops.
  • Easy to handle
  • When mixed with nitrogenous fertilizers, it can make the soil Nitrogen rich.
  • It improves the root growth of the plant.

Application of Neem Oil cake in farms:

Neem Oil cake is available in the market of following forms

  • Neem Oil cake powder
  • Neem Oil cake pellets
  • Neem Oil cake flakes

Neem cake powder is mixed with the soil in proportion 100g per square metres before seeding. Growth of Nitrogenous bacteria like Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter are inhibited in the soil thereby nitrification process is prolonged for over the period of time ensuring the abundant supply of Nitrogen to the plants. Neem Oil cake pellets or flakes were spread after ploughing which prevent the pests or insects responsible for the inefficiency in plants.
Note: Enough spacing should be provided between the crops to spread the neem pellets well.

Pests like Nematodes (roundworm) belonging to the worm family is harmful and are found to be the major destructive organisms in fields. They usually acclimatize in freshwater. Water stagnating near the plants due to over irrigation or high rainfall will serve as their chance of getting multiplied causing damage to the crops. Thus use of Neem Cakes in the soil will help in restraining their growth. They are even eradicated completely by using Neem Oil Bio pesticide.

Neem cake powders are also mixed with manure and spread over the green earth. Crop seeds that are stored in the dark silos are cured with Neem Oil sprays so that fungus infection over the seeds is prevented. Role of earthworm is to till soil particles as their locomotion is under earth surface thereby making the soil loose for free movement of air and water, thus helping farmers in effective cultivation of crops. Added advantage of using Neem cake is that it does affect earthworms which are considered as the "Companion of the farmers".

So Farmers can make use of this valuable natural gift to nourish their farming business. But make sure that Neem Bio products are registered either by EPA or by any other eco-friendly committee.
