Neemona (Insecticide)

Azadirachtin 1% Concentrate 

Azadirachtin, a complex tetranortriterpenoid limonoid from the neem seeds, is the main component responsible for the toxic effects in insects. Such effects include primary and secondary antifeedancy, growth reduction, increased mortality, abnormal and delayed moults and sterility effects. Such wide-ranging biological effects in insects come about in two different ways: firstly by direct effects of azadirachtin on cells and tissues and secondly by indirect effects exerted via the endocrine system following direct effects in the neuroendocrine tissues themselves. Azadirachtin stimulates specific 'deterrent' cells in chemoreceptors and also blocks the firing of 'sugar' receptor cells, which normally stimulate feeding. This results in an inhibition of feeding, culminating in starvation and death of these species by feeding deterrence alone.

DESCRIPTION
Azadirachtin, a complex tetranortriterpenoidlimonoid from the neem seeds, is the main component responsible for the toxic effects in insects. Such effects include primary and secondary antifeedancy, growth reduction, increased mortality, abnormal and delayed moults and sterility effects. Such wide-ranging biological effects in insects come about in two different ways: firstly by direct effects of azadirachtin on cells and tissues and secondly by indirect effects exerted via the endocrine system following direct effects in the neuroendocrine tissues themselves.
Mode of action
Azadirachtin stimulates specific 'deterrent' cells in chemoreceptors and also blocks the firing of 'sugar' receptor cells, which normally stimulate feeding. This results in an inhibition of feeding, culminating in starvation and death of these species by feeding deterrence alone.
Applications
Apply as soon as pests are observed for better results during immature pest stages. Use it in every 10-15 days depending upon the requirement. After spraying, if rain comes, then again apply the formulation. Good mixing is required before application. Avoid storage of spray mixtures. Mix a fresh for every application. Sprays during evening hours are preferable.

TOXICITY  DATA
Mammalian Toxicity

:

 WHO (a.i.) U; Unlikely to present acute hazard and EPA (Formulation)IV
Environmental Toxicity

:

 Azadirachtinbreaks down rapidly (in 50-100 hours) in water or light, and is not likely to accumulate or cause long-term effects. It is not toxic for rats. It can cause mild to moderate eye irritation but not skin irritation. It can cause slight skin sensitisation. It is less toxic to birds. It is slight to moderately toxic to fishes only if exposed to very high concentration.
