PRONEEM has proved very effective against insects (its best-known property) but it is also effective as a systemic fungicide for the treatment of diseased crops or trees, protecting their roots. Used as a preventative, it can protect against fungal diseases that attack plants, but while its fungicidal action is noteworthy, its control of nematodes is even more important, keeping them down to acceptable levels.

PESTICIDE: SPECIES IT CONTROLS
Fungus: it is very successful against funguses that cause certain diseases in plants. Both in the laboratory and in field trials, NEEM has controlled diseases such as mildew and Aspergyllus . In greenhouse trials its effectiveness has proved close to 100% against mould on beans.
Recently a truly unusual and notable connection has been demonstrated between NEEM and funguses. In tests carried out with NEEM extracts, although it does not kill the fungus Aspergillus sp, against all expectations, these extracts completely halted their production of aflatoxin. |

Nematodes: NEEM products affect various types of nematodes, which are the most devastating pests and most difficult for farmers to eradicate. It is an effective alternative since most of the synthetic nemacides have been withdrawn from the market because of their toxicity.
Crustaceans: In rice paddies, a small aquatic crustacean, the Ostrocod heterocypris luzonensis , lives off the algae that make nitrogen from the air, drastically reducing fertilizer for the crop. The aqueous extracts from the nucleus of the NEEM seed controls this tiny animal.
Soil caterpillars: Applied as a spray just at the base of the stem, it protects against the attach of caterpillars that are protected in the soil.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Place some product under the sprinkler so that it is gradually dissolved. The amount depends on the crop: for vegetables, 1 g. per plant, and for fruit trees, from 5 to 10 g. per plant.
If the crops are not irrigated, distribute in a uniform manner at 1 g per square metre when preparing the land for sowing.
PACK SIZES
5 and 25 kg sacks.
Included in the list of E.C. Regulation 1488/97, schedule II, part B, so its use is permitted in ecological agriculture, and it also has a wide area of application in integrated agriculture.
